I've noticed recently that Kevin and Jason Mewes seem to be fairly generous about selling themseleves as chattel to inexperienced filmmakers (Chasing Kevin, Vulgarthon, etc.) I think this is fairly cool as Kevin especially is probably at a stage of his career where he could tell less famous fellows to fuck off and his rabid fan base would simply dismiss as part of his "eccentric genius". I can just imagine the planitive post: Guys, I know it looks like he's being an asshole, but really you just don't understand him like I do.
Anyway, in my roundabout fashion, as a fledging filmmaker (which has the distinction of being both a pretentious and a meaningless term!) I want to ask exactly what it requires to get on the gravy train? Not that I've seen a breach in the walls (due to Kevin's need for validation from his fans? Just a thought.) how exactly can I milk this puppy.
Oh yeah, if Kevin is actually reading this, detailed instructions into how to manipulate him, set myself up as his protege, etc. would be much appreciated.
