: I'm a youth minister at an episcopal church... Don't worry, I love all of Kevin's films, especially Dogma. I doubt, Kevin if you're reading this, that you would have time even if you wanted to, but what would be the chances of getting you to come, or have you ever talked to kids (like high schoolers) about Dogma, why you wrote it... why you felt it needed to be written and filmed, the kind of flack you've gotten from the religious right. What you think is "right," etc.

: I know that this will probably not even get a response, but I would love to have someone from your production team, ideally you, come and talk with my youth group about the film. I think there's a lot to learn from it about redemption. Well, thanks for taking the time to read this, whoever does.

Dear Youth Minister,

I'm not the guy's manager, but I would guess a fair market value for booking the Kev-meister would probably start at $5,000/day (for charity cases) and go up from there....

If you were a college, maybe like $15,000 (plus expenses) and terms of "payable up front."

Unless those kids are in wheelchairs or hooked up to dialysis machines that the Make a Wish Foundation bought them, he probably doesn't have the time to do pro bono engagements.

But I'm not his manager and I certainly don't speak for the guy.
