Trans boy joy, an extremely queer Tribeca, while defining “Pinocchio Syndrome” and the infantilization of transgender men. Read my Q&A with Something You Should Know About Me writer/director Andy Fidoten! It’s a good flick you should seek out. Read the article: open.substack.com/pub/savrodge...
Wrapped my third Tribeca Festival working on the Documentary Screening Committee. The best part is moderating Q&As with the filmmakers. Curious audiences, storytellers getting their moment in the sun, and the community—that’s what it’s all about. Happy 25th anniversary, Tribeca. ❤️
RAINBOW RIDER won the inaugural LGBTQ+ Impact Award at Mountainfilm 2026! It’s an honor to be the EP on this timely short documentary. ❤️ Congratulations to our whole team!
So thrilled to be an Executive Producer on Georgia Krause's RAINBOW RIDER, a tender short doc about Shelle Lichti, a lesbian trucker fighting for her community as she hauls freight across the USA in a rainbow semi-truck. Premiering next month at Mountainfilm! www.mountainfilm.org/press-releas...
And, of course, CHASING CHASING AMY is available to watch everywhere if you want to see what all happened after I delivered that TED Talk. Here’s a nice Letterboxd review about it! chasingamydoc.com
Something I love: when people who loved the doc seek me out on Letterboxd and make a point to connect. I love seeing what movies people love! It’s the best use of this app!!! This was a really nice one.
It’s been a really, really bad week for trans people. The onslaught of anti-trans news has ranged from feckless to insidious, with a huge overlap between the two. The only response I have to any of it:
True to me being the biggest Wife Guy™ (complimentary, genuine), this key stat on my Wikipedia page is fucking hilarious
Does anybody know how to edit Wikipedia?? I apparently have a page now (hilarious), but it says that my wife’s birthday is my birthday, and I cannot have people thinking I am a Pisces….. Thank u for your support in advance - Old Man Sav
Thrilled to be back at SXSW 2026 as a Mentor and member of the SXSW Filmmaker Advisory Board! If you missed your chance to grab a slot for my Mentorship Session, reach out or hang out as my sessions wrap up. Always happy to answer (respectful) questions. 🤠
Principal photography on PANCAKE SKANK is wrapped. Can’t fucking believe it!!!!
Not to brag but I overcame some significant childhood trauma today and everything turned out great???
Barb and Star only has a 3.5 on Letterboxd and that’s a load of bullshit and that was probably the thing I took most umbrage with this week.
It was a pleasure and an honor to introduce Guinevere Turner onstage at Sundance’s annual Cheers Queers party to celebrate the triumph of Go Fish. Lesbian cinema 4Ever!!!
I fucking love Sundance, and I cannot believe the number of people who act like it’s a chore to go out and join other film nerds in fellowship of storytelling. I love my friends!!!
Finally picked up the new @funcityeditions.bsky.social Ladies and Gentleman, The Fabulous Stains 4K Blu-ray with commentary from the one and only @meheuck.bsky.social!!! What a treat.
Reluctantly sharing my annual “I will be at Sundance” post!! LMK if you’ll be in Park City. #Sundance2026
Sometimes location scouts are actually good and they give you free breakfast 🫡
Happy birthday to my terrific friend, @kingmustafaobafemi.bsky.social, whose work you may know from his breakout role as Hooper X in Chasing Amy or his many collaborations with Hal Hartley. He's a beautiful soul, and I just love him. You're going to see this man SHINE in PANCAKE SKANK!!
