New Kevin Smith documentary to be screened in Asbury Park
When you hear that there’s a new Kevin Smith movie, you might assume he wrote and directed it, but this Kevin Smith film is actually a documentary about the famed New Jersey director. It’s called “Clerk” and it will be screened in Asbury Park in November.
According to NJ Arts, the screening will be followed by a talk featuring both Smith and the documentary’s director, Malcolm Ingram. Ingram first met Smith as a film journalist interviewing the (then) young filmmaker.
Of course, the film “Clerks” is what put Smith on the map, and he told Deadline.com ““Every day of my life since 1993 I have probably said the word ‘Clerks’ at least once,” Smith said during an appearance in the Deadline SXSW Virtual Studio. “It was a wonderful magic trick that a kid pulled off that me, as an adult at age 50, have been living off of for the better part of coming up on 28 years.”
Nerd professional Kevin Smith has been creating for decades and today, io9 can exclusively reveal he’s the subject of his very own coffee table book Kevin Smith’s Secret Stash: A Definitive Visual History. We also spoke with him to find out more.

However, it’s July 1992, about 18 months before anyone will be talking about him as a promising writer and filmmaker or buzzing about the unassuming Jersey business that launched a career.
Smith, 21, is about to move from Monmouth County to British Columbia, where he’ll attend Vancouver Film School. He borrows a video camera to tape a message for his parents.
