For Kevin Smith:
I'm a college senior rapidly approaching graduation. I don't really want to get stuck in some crappy job. What I need to do, for myself and the rest of the world, is to write movies. I don't know much about the direction side, or even how to write movies. All I have at this point are some very good ideas, some even on paper. Is there any advice or suggestion you could offer to help me out? I know you must have gotten your start somehow. If you can help me out in any way I would appreciate it. I'm writing to you because I obviously love and admire the work that you have done. Plus, I just recently broke up with my girlfriend and don't plan to stay in town any longer than I have to. Thanks.
