You might have called his agency by now (which is a must), but if not, assuming an in person appearance costs too much, ask about a speakerphone "appearance." This is a common situation for convention organizers who can't get all their guests to fly out, but who can get those guests to set aside some time to just call the place. Whether or not he'd do this for free or a considerably reduced fee, or be willing to do it at all, I could not say, of course.
But the worst thing they can do is say "No." Okay, not the worst, but you know.
: 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.
