April 3rd, 2012 James Shotwell

Kevin Smith may be ending his film career after next year’s Hit Somebody, but new information surfacing today reveals his most beloved characters still have another story to tell.

September 3rd, 2011 James Shotwell

Kevin Smith’s Red State has been making waves in the press since Smith “bought” the film for himself for $20 at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The film is Smith’s first horror movie and has spent the majority of the year being toured around the country, accompanied by Smith, and playing in huge theaters to crowds of 1500+ that paid $60 a ticket (Smith performed Q & As with every screening).

Now that the dust from the film’s tour has settled, Smith’s next wave of DIY distribution has taken effect. Earlier this week, Red State made its’ way onto nearly …

If you agree, this column is for …

On top of that, he’s been documenting the entire process online through podcasts and blogs to inspire future filmmakers to do the same. …
