Screening with: Suburban Family Classics Presents: Zach Has a Secret (5min) by Emily Anne-Fraser

ABOUT THE FEATURE FILM
Kevin Smith’s cult classic, Chasing Amy, is a movie that saved director Sav Rodger’s life as a queer kid coming of age in Kansas but it also received mixed reviews from the LGBTQIA+ community. Through candid interviews with Smith and star Joey Lauren Adams, this thoughtful documentary is a trans coming of age love story set against the backdrop of an indie film that solidified some careers and damaged others.
Presented in partnership with the University of Kansas Department of Film and Media Studies and Lawrence Pride.
