An Evening with Kevin Smith
The fact that Kevin Smith was born and raised in New Jersey, and very proud of it, can be seen in all of his movies. His first movie, Clerks (1994), won the highest award at the Sundance film festival and was brought to theaters by Miramax. The movie went over so well that Smith was able to make another movie, Mallrats (1995). His next movie, a comedy drama called Chasing Amy (1997), won two independent Spirit awards: Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Role (for Jason Lee). After Chasing Amy, Smith started on Dogma (1999), a controversial film about Christianity. Smith’s next film, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) is a road trip comedy that follows cult heroes, Jay and Silent Bob as they go on an adventure to stop the production of a movie being made about them, find true love, and save an orangutan. In 2004, he wrote and directed Jersey Girl (2004), starring Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler, and two years later he completed the sequel to his first film, Clerks II (2006). Smith has also written scripts for such comics as Daredevil and Green Arrow. He has opened a comic book store, owns a production company, writes articles for Arena magazine, and does short films for the Leno show. He has accomplished so much and he has only been around since 1994.
