: : Hi. My name is Jim and I live in Middletown. I plan graduating from South in June of 2003. Fuck Hudson. Fuck North. Go Eagles. But that's not why I'm here. I am an aspiring film maker. My goal is to possibly go on to direct music videos when I get older. The way i see it is that I can take someone elses sonic creation and match it with a visual. That is mostly because I am too lazy to think of my own ideas and I am going to mooch off of other's creativity. I've desired to direct music videos for as long as I can remember. I also understand that it is a very difficult industry to break into. So if Mr. Kevin Smith himself does read this, I would appreciate any advice he could give a hometown boy who as the dreams of making it in Hollywood or...some other wood. (I don't really know where the record industry does it's shit) I mean...should I take all that money that my parents were saving to give me a quality education and squander it on film school. What does it take to get one's ideas heard. Since you have been quite successful...and since you come from the same area as myself, I figured you would be able to fill my head with some ideas as to how I could beat the system and get myself into the industry before those fat cats had a chance to deny me. So if you could get back to me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

: Nice place.. Just thought I'd share.. I made the pilgrimage to Monmouth County.. lol.. I'll give you a word of advice, Kevin will probably never see your post. He comes on still, but not as much as he used to. If you can, rent the DVD An Evening With Kevin Smith- He answers a lot of your questions, plus it's entertaining. Also, I have a question for you.. How is Monmouth pronounced.. Is it.. Mom-mouth Mon-mouth Mon-nouth.. I've heard a few diffent people pronounce it differently.
Mon-mouth is pretty common too though.
