Savoy developed the screenplay for Echo Boomers while living in Chicago. In 2015, the screenplay won an independent pitch competition held at the Sundance Film Festival.

Echo Boomers received mixed reviews from critics but a substantially more positive response from audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 36% critic score based on 33 reviews and a 94% audience score based on more than 500 ratings. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three out of four stars, calling it a "nifty little gem" and writing that Savoy "displays real talent" as a director.
Savoy later expanded into producing. He produced the 2023 horror thriller Ghosts of the Void, directed by Jason Miller, and the 2025 coming-of-age film Pools, directed by Sam Hayes and starring Odessa A'zion, Mason Gooding, Ariel Winter and Michael Vlamis.
