Kevin was inspired by Richard Linklater to become a director. He and Vincent saw Slacker at the Angelika, and Kevin said to himself that if this passes off as a movie than he could do it to. He had always enjoyed writing, and wanted to do something with that. It was Vincent who turned him on to the idea of writing screenplays, which is why at the end of Clerks Kevin thanks Vincent as his inspiration.
