: What did Kevin do before Clerks, besides read comic books? I was just wondering. I know that he funded all of Clerks pretty much on credit cards and all. I'm curious as to whether he did any film shorts or anything before Clerks.
The only thing Kevin really did before Clerks was a short film while attending the Vancouver Film School (which he left early). It was about how his short film project about a prostitute fell apart.
He then left the VFS to go back to Red Bank and finish writing his Clerks script. After Mosier graduated he came to Red Bank and they started filming Clerks at the Quick Stop where Kevin worked.
The rest of the story can be found in "Spike, Mike, Slackers & Dykes" by John Pierson. Pick the book up because it is well worth the read.
