About the filmmaker:
Kevin Patrick Smith is an American actor, producer, writer, and director who rose to fame with his 1994 independent film Clerks. The famously low-budget buddy comedy won awards at Sundance and Cannes and made Smith an idol for aspiring filmmakers. In Clerks, Smith also co-produced, acted, and played the stoner character Silent Bob.
Self-referential to a fault, Smith uses his films to expand his fictional universe populated with a regular cast of characters who eventually crossed over into other mediums, including comic books and an animated television series. Some of Smith’s most well-known films include Chasing Amy (1997), Dogma (1999), Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), and Tusk (2014). As a podcaster, Smith cohosts several shows on his SModcast Podcast Network, including SModcast, Fatman Beyond, and the live show Hollywood Babble-On.
