Dear Kevin,
Hi! My name's Steve Amdur, and I'm a Junior at Yale University, as well as President of Pierson College, one of our twelve residential colleges. I've been a huge fan of your films since Clerks, and I anxiously await your next film (Clerks 2 or otherwise). I know many of my fellow students share these feelings.
At Yale, we have these events called "Master's Teas," in which the Master of each residential college hosts influential guests and speakers, giving the undergraduates a chance to interact with them. I'm writing to ask if you would be willing to come to Pierson, my residential college, and talk about your career as an independent filmmaker, and perhaps to discuss your films (past, present, and future).
Please let me know if/when you might be willing to come for a Master's Tea (there's great food!). Thanks in advance for your time,
-Steve Amdur
