A script I recently wrote made it to the 2nd round of the Austin Film Fest (only about 10% of the original 3400 entries made it to the 2nd round). At 17, I consider this a pretty big accomplishment.
I need to Thank You because over the past couple of years, feverishly absorbing everything you've written, written about you, and all the movies, you inspired me and proved to be someone whose career I'd like to emulate. To say that the script is full of your type dialog (plus a few direct references) would be an understatement. In a way, hearing your story and watching your works (CLERKS and AMY respectively) gave me the confidence to enter this competition and ultimately reap positive results.
Thanks Kevin. Can't wait for the new movie.
And from one Jersey-ite to another, damn if you didn't hit the nose on the head via your comments about the WTC fiasco.
Again, thanks.
