Mr. Kevin Smith,
I am a big fan of yours and enjoy all of your movies. I am a high school student from a small town in California called Stockton. My English teacher has given us an “I-search” paper which is to find a career in which we are interested in and research it and get interviews…. I was hoping you could be one of my interviews. I don’t have to turn it in until December 3rd, so there’s not a big rush, thank you very much
