In Reply to: where can i send a script (to kevin)??? posted by brodie_fan_23 on March 14, 2002 at 19:11:10:
Like everybody else has said Kevin cannot read scripts due to legal reasons. Further to that, he posted a while back on Psycomics.com (before it died) that he just plain hated reading scripts and that if he had any time to read ANYTHING he'd spend it reading comics.
I'm sorry everyone is being so short with you but this question does come up a LOT which is why its in the summaries (which you're supposed to read before you post.)
And on a personal note: even if Kevin could/would read your screenplay it's probably not a could idea to try and arrange it before its even written. Its a lot of pressure to put on yourself, and if it were me, I'd be so stressed with trying to "make it good enough for Kevin Smith" that it would end up being forced and crappy and probably just a cheap rip off of one his own films. (Although that could just be because I'm a crappy writer who watches too many of Kevin's films.)
Don't be discouraged by people telling you its a shit idea or that you're too young to write it. Fuck 'em! If you think you can do it then do it. Just have fun with it and worry about people reading it when its finished.
Oh and please read the Summaries before you ask another question.
Thanks
Andy
