The 6th Annual RxSM Self-Medicated Film Expo (RxSM), unfolds once again this year alongside South by Southwest, one of the most beloved cultural events in Austin, Texas. RxSM shines a bright spotlight on talented filmmakers in the thick of the busy festival circuit. Each March, thousands of cinephiles descend on Austin to get a glimpse of the incredibly inspired work being done in indie cinema, an

d RxSM is eager to provide it. From beginning to end, RxSM is dedicated to edgy, boundary-expanding storytelling that falls well outside of the mainstream. There’s no better place to honor such off-beat fare as Austin, Texas, an unforgettable melting pot of artistry, musicianship, rule-breakers, and warm hearts. Founded, organized, programmed and promoted by filmmakers who can’t help but think outside of the box, RxSM is forever in the service of like-minded free spirits—and fantastic parties that last well into the night. Each year, RxSM doles out awards to its best and brightest talents and offers many of the award-winning projects the opportunity to screen at The Victoria Texas Independent Film Festival the following weekend. In the wake of its success at RxSM, The Dynamiter soared to extraordinary heights, nabbing two nominations at The Independent Spirit Awards and winning Best Director. “In this increasingly crowded marketplace,” notes the film’s director Matthew Gordon, “the RxSM film expo represents a way for small films like ours to reach an audience that we would otherwise be unable to reach.”

MISSION AND OBJECTIVE
RxSM champions cutting edge and unique cinema and offers valuable programming opportunities to the first-time filmmaker. MORE ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

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!

If you're in Kansas City, join Sav Rodgers for Q&A after the film on Friday, November 1st at 7:15 pm at AMC Studio 28 in Olathe and Saturday, November 2nd at 3 pm at Screenland Armour.

And if you're in NYC, join us for a Q&A with Producers Carrie Radigan, Matthew Mills, and Editor Sharika Ajaikumar on Sunday, November 3rd at 4pm at AMC Empire.

As of the time of this post, Chasing Chasing Amy is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and 93% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes! And if you don't believe me or that RT score, here are some wonderful quotes from critic reviews:

“10/10. Chasing Chasing Amy is Sav Rodgers' heartfelt, transparent, and articulate look at what it is to grow up gay and transgender in a world of heteronormative hostility.” - Film Threat

"This documentary is ultimately a strong and important examination of how popular entertainment can touch and move us in unexpected and deeply personal ways." - RogerEbert.com

“A fascinating work of film criticism and personal discovery.” - Boulder Weekly

“Rodgers’ ability to showcase the passion to deconstruct his favorite film’s true legacy makes it a wonderful experience. His feature becomes a must-watch for any fans of Smith or LGBTQ+ cinema.” - Sunshine State Cineplex

I hope you'll share this experience with us and bring your friends. 🙂

Sav Rodgers sets out to examine the complex legacy of Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy on LGBTQ+ people and its life-saving impact on Rodgers, himself, who came into his q***rness via kinship with the film. He makes significant progress, garnering support from Kevin Smith; but, as the production continues,...

Nice write up about Unlikely Allies, the Weldon Angelos story. We are premiering in Australia this week at the Byron Bay Film Festival. If you are down under, grab a ticket, and see the film this week.

Tomorrow the Vancouver International Film Festival begins and Unlikely Allies will have its Canadian premiere. Kati Mae Thomas and I will be attending the festival for three screenings of Weldon Angelos' story. Vancouver FF is a first class festival and I am extremely humbled and honored to be a part of their program that features 150 features, and 80 short films.

What does it take to unite right-wing billionaire Charles Koch with hip hop legend Snoop Dogg? This urgent and uplifting film documents an extraordinary response to an appalling injustice: a young man sentenced to 55 years for three ma*****na sales.

In 2003, a low-level cannabis case would end Weldon Angelos’ promising career in the Hip-Hop industry. But it would also give birth to a national movement to reform our country’s criminal justice system, uniting far-right conservatives like billionaire Charles Koch and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) wi...
