When doing Clerks, did you find people in the surrounding community supportive, or condescending? When I tell people I know about the screenplays I'm writing or would like to write, I usually get one of those blank, uninterested stares, much the same as when they ask, "what's your major?" (physics and astronomy) which, as we all know, is a pointless question and rarely leads to more than meaningless smalltalk ("oh, what are you going to do with that?" "I have no clue..."). So, back to the question; if you did get a less than warm reaction to your plans, was it difficult to just go ahead and make the movie anyway? Thanks.
