Hello friends, colleagues, and movie lovers!
After an incredible six-year journey, I'm so pleased to share that CHASING CHASING AMY hits theaters in the United States today. We're playing all over the country, from Los Angeles to NYC to Kansas City and many, many places in between.
In case you don't know what the film is about, The Detroit News said it well: "Chasing Chasing Amy is an insightful look back at the movie and the place it occupies in q***r culture, the '90s canon and the lives of those it touched, both for better and for worse. It's well worth chasing down." It also happens to be a tender trans boy coming of age story!
