: Whats up,i dont know if anyone important is gonna get this...
Not much really, hey I appreciate you taking the time to write to me by the way. I am considered important around here just to let you know.
But what i really wanted to know is if anyone knows if there is any way that i would be able to get a chance to be in a film by "the coolest film-maker around"-no kissing ass intended i speak the truth...
Well it DOES SAY IN THE OPENING PAGE OF THE BOARD NOT TO ASK FOR A JOB ON HERE but hey we all know that this is just a load of whoey. To be hones the best way of going about getting into a Kevin Smith flick is to send him a self addressed stamped envelope asking for tickets to be on the price is right. It is sort of like a secret code with the man. The other alternative is to request a casting couch audition with Mr. Smith's personal assistant Mr. Lynch. Usually if you put in a good showing during your time ont he couch Mr. Lynch will give you a good reference for Mr. Smith. Then afterwards a person usually gets a call from Mrs. Noble (Mr. Smiths' personal secretary) she books all of Mr. Smiths couch appointment and can usually fit would be stars into a spot within a month or so.
I am not a legit actor but i can act it is just something everyone does on a daily basis, and i know i would be able to do it well...
It is good to have confidence. Ensure you potray the person you say you can be when you visit Mr. Lynch. He'll appreciate it.
He seems like he would be a lot of fun to work with and i just love all his movies, you see i hope to one day be able to direct movies as well-actually i am a 20 yr old artist from staten island with hopes to one day become famous the fun way as in doing what you love to do...
That's good to hear son, as I say ensure you use all of this enthusium when you meet with Mr. Lynch.
It just seems like kevin smith loves what he does and i really want a chance to do the same... So if anyone can help please let me know you can reach mat at jeffrey_tejada@hotmail.com or at 718-490-3441
Tell you what I am going to do for you. Because you seem to be a straight (?) up guy I am going to help you out. I happen to know a couple of people who have recently met with Mr. Lynch and have to go back for a follow up meeting of sorts. What I will do for you is this; I'll take down your information here, pass it along to BOTH of those guys I know, and ask them politely to leave it with Mr. Lynch at the end of their interview...errr casting time. That way you will be on your way to hanging out with the man. I don't normally do this for people who come on the board and start blubbering on about themselves; BUT I am feeling generous this evening and as such you shall benefit from my good mood.
: thank you very much everyone, and if kevin smith gets this-i love your work man i know i don't gotta tell you to keep it up...
Hey rest easy and relax, you are now in Good hands. You'll soon be off on your career. Just do me a favor and don't forget about the little man when you are all rich and Famous.
Cheers
