Dear Kevin Smith,
Just a quick note, as I am sure you are busy!
Ever since seeing Clerks, and going on to see Mallrats I have been very inspired by your style, your humour and wanted to know more about your history and how you got inspiration and started writing yourself.
I am in my final year at university in Derby, England, although normally I live in London. I am at the moment tearing my hair out trying to decide on a dissertation topic. My first choice being to write about your films, comics, your background, what inspires me about you etc. As I, myself, would love to eventually make films of my own, and or star myself, in mine or other people's works!
The reason why I am writing, is because, I was wondering if there would be any way to find out more about you, if I devised some interview questions whether you would mind answering them?! If not, then if you could put me in touch of any literature or websites that would benefit my study I would be truly grateful.
Thank you for your time,
Verity Budden.
p.s. Hope to hear from you!
