- I was invited by AVID to a private Q&A with Kevin Smith on April 4th 2011 while he is on the promotional tour for his new movie, "Red State," at Marion Oliver McCaw Hall. It was amazing getting a chance to meet with him and get to know him. He mentioned that he edited the entire thing on Avid.

Kevin is one of the few celebrities i have any respect for.
I feel that.
I haven't been a Kevin Smith fan for long. I first took notice when I looked up season one of Comic Book Men when I wanted to learn more about comics. I saw the store was Jay And Silent Bob's Secret Stash, and remembered hearing about them before. For about six months now I've bathed myself in everything Kevin Smith has made, except Jersey Girl. I haven't gotten to that yet. He is just an AWESOME dude. I'm gonna be a fan for life.
That man can say some profound things just of the top of his head. Hearing him speak of youth and art gave me a boost of hope. Kevin Smith is a genius
I love listening to him talk, he just goes with it. Kevin is one of the best speakers ever.

I say fans make a market.

He stays an artist."

Say what you will, about his films: Could there be a sweeter guy?
Been a K.S. fan since Clerks, started listening to his interviews on youtube last week. Hours logged: 37.5hrs. He can talk but dang it, he's funny!
The more I listen to Kev the more grateful I get over having been a dedicated fan for so long. Thanks so much for filming, uploading and letting me hear this extra stuff. I love you.
"You're bitter."
Oh God! He just spoke from the heart and told you things that you can carry with you
and remember so as not to do the same mistakes yourself. And he told you in the beginning that words can hurt. Things people say to you can hurt and you lay in bed at night thinking about what people have said to you or about you and you wonder if they're right or not.
And you say to him "You're bitter." That's not nice, man. Didn't you listen.
Maybe that's the only thing Kevin thought about that evening. About when you told him
he was bitter.
Couldn't you have said "Thank you for talking with us for a while. Appreciate it."
Someone gave me similar advice ten years ago and I respected what he said to me.
I didn't take his advice, I wish I had, but I still listened and respected the advice he gave
me.
sigh.. "You're bitter."
Maybe one day you will understand.
Prett sure she was joking because of his joke about dying screaming. And he even reacted like it was a joke. He laughed and said “no I’m happy”
Kevin is living his dream, he's doing alright.
I'm jealous, I'd love to sit and talk with Kevin. I've watched and read everything he's released. He's very motivational. Thanks for posting this.
Smart Guy with a Big Heart.
I love Kevin Smith and shit like that
Mall Rats was my childhood!
always cool to hear him speak, the part where he recalled that girl that did his focus work, that reaction was genius :P
thanks for filming this Q&A
i whould love to have been there in that room with you guys to hear Kev do his thing
Does anyone see how ironic it is that Silent Bob makes his money primarily by talking and writing dialogue?
Yeah It was great meeting him, He had tons of great advice. Very down to earth. He really made me wanna go out and try harder =)
He is very inspiring
what did dude say on 3:26
Thanks for posting this!
Kevin Smith is the kind of guy who knows where his audience is. He makes the movies he likes and wants to make and doesn't have to have a lot of the stress that comes with this industry.
I think he has accomplished alot in his career, his Evening with Kevin Smith series were excellent rants about success and some harsh times so I hope he doesn't really feel like he's wasted any time. He has lots of stories to tell and some great movies. Plus, he's just over 40, still has lots of years left to make some more movies (and other). He has a comic book store(s?), a podcast (smod), movies, does tours where he speaks about his experiences (Evening with), married with kids. Well done sir
He's right that giggle is disgustingly cute.
Haha, that was brilliant. Loved watching this :)
"That's a problem with this business is that it IS a business."
.....well said.....like most of what Kevin says....everything is spot on.
That whole "unreasonabilty" quote is really inspiring to me. Being a musician, that can be applied to the touring lifestyle of successful musicians.
I love has films, and can total relate to him and his anecdotes, since Music and Film are both very artistic and similar to certain degrees.
Love listening to this guy.
Dude talks like he's doing lines but he ALWAYS makes sense.
curious thing is too, he's only gotten more 'animated' with age. You go back to like mid-2000s or anything earlier, while yeah he basically talked as much, but he was A LOT more soft spoken back then. Even in an environment where the entire point was hearing him, the first couple "A Night With" DVDs, his tone and pitch was quite a lot lower then. I was never sure if it was a transition he made by design or just a thing that happened. For the last dozen or so years he's got a lot more punch and force to his voice.
@@kevinw712 He's gotten more confident after some failure and realizing that it doesn't matter. He is also way more practised at these kinds of talks, as he has done them and podcasts for years.
I could listen to the guy talk all day. usually when people ramble on that fast it get's kinda old fast, but Kevin Smith always seems to talk about shit in a way that seems relevant and productive.
kevin smith speaks the truth!
loololo
"there are people in this business that'll shit in your mouth just to se your expression change"
PERFECT
Man, he really has grown wiser over these years.
I've been watching him since Clerks.
He went from being a pretty smart guy to being a *very* real man.
Fuck yeah.
Such an inspiring person.
I can't stop watching these things. Especially the comiccon stuff where he talks about Bruce Willis.
he is a true artist
Each time I hear this guy talk I respect him more and more. Some wise shit in here.
i like how hes talking about how some people will always dislike your work. But this video has 0 dislikes.
Ok, this might sound weird, but please hear me out, I am a Kevin Smith fan, but I am not a fan of his films, stay with me though.
So I discovered him online, through one his podcasts, or possibly he was a guest on someone else's, and I was surprised by how intelligent he was, which made me watch, he was talking about Super Hero's or Possibly Star Wars (you get the idea) and I kept on coming back for more.
I then find out he is a film maker, I give a couple of his films a try, they weren't for me.
But this video is so moving (I don't know if that's the word), seeing him talk about how other's opinions can have an impact on his life really got through to me, I felt like watching this was like I was having therapy.
Does anyone know if he has written any books or anything like that, I'm nothing but impressed by him (except for his film's though lol, but I do admire him for his success as a film maker).
Can't wait for Clerks 3 and Tusk. That hockey thing should be on the horizon as well but in a tv mini series format. =)
Wow this is great and really inspiring for anybody that has an ambition they're trying to reach!
Great opening question! Very interesting answer.
I always find amazing that silent bob can talk so fucking much. I love this man.
I'm going to have to listen to this any time I feel down about performance art. Fucking inspiring shit.
living legend!
so wise
he's such a great guy :)
This interview makes me want to quit my job and start that business I've been thinking about opening for the last 5 years. Fuck it, Why not?
Any luck?
and this right here was the first RUclips account of Mr Jeff Bezos lol
(and yep, I'm aware the math is off here by many many years, it was just one of them there joke thingies)
I like this guy
I liked Cop Out and Kevin Smith is a great person.
inspiring
yeah i agree....he comes from alot of self experiences....wise man!
This is fucking awesome
"fuck the why people'" greatest quote ever
I dunno if anyone here is a Devin Townsend fan but fuck I would love to watch those two sit down and have a chat with eachother
Foooocussss!
i agree
all day
5:00 onwards starts talking about how you should react to trolls. lol
f**k that ! i loved Mallrats.... get em lunchbox
Sniggity sniggity snoinch WOLVERINE
Any one else get a feeling that the girl to the left of the screen doesn't like him? She felt so cold especially with that "your bitter" remark. Oh well as always some really insightful words from my hero!
uh.... okaaaayyyyyyyy
You could sit him in a white, box room by himself and he could talk forever... and most of it would be insanely interesting. Genius
I.....Want.....A HUG!!!!!!!!
He's no where near as bad as people make him out to be. Chasing Amy is in my top 5 movies list. Zack and Miri was hilarious, Clerks is a classic debut and Clerks 2 was a good follow up. I'm a film student trying to make her debut film and Kevin Smith is who I think to whenever, I think 'I've got no budget or trained actors' he's proof that dreams are doable!
it seems many people agree
Kevin Smith and Oliver Reed.
I loved when he made the chick laugh.
wow
It is. What would you call it? Commercial Produce???
whos the guy sitting behind kev who told him about the mary woman
He is saying follow your heart, make your art.
She says, You didn't have women on your crew.
The one thing she was thinking about, "I looked...", and she was wrong....maybe she isn't getting work on a film crew because she isn't very good, worried about the wrong things and even getting that wrong, and not simply because she is a woman.//
slappa do do do
This comment totally made my day \(^_^)/
you know what else? some days you just can't get rid of a bomb
"i noticed there's no chicks on your camera crew" you have a 1 on 1 with Kevin Smith and that's what you have to say? ugh...
LOL yeah that was a weird question. That girl actually drove from Vancouver with 3 other guys from her film school. The entire time I was wondering how did she even know who he hired =)
I would agree in a way. I would never want to be hired just because I am a woman. I work hard to increase my skills. It was very weird to me that she asked that question.
Thanks! I wanted to make sure I didn't waste my question. It was really a once in a lifetime experience and I wanted to learn as much as I could from him. That is also why I asked for permission to film the Q&A. After re watching it I decided many people would enjoy this, so I posted it. Hope many people out there can find inspiration from Kevin Smith. He was just a kool guy to hang out with.
It sounded like she said that because she was hinting she wanted a job doing it, came off weird though.
That the woman that uses her gender to get a leg up. Stop that shit, your putting down women that bust their asses to be better than everyone else. There are some amazing woman out there and your putting doubts in people’s heads that a woman needs a leg up just because she is a woman. I hate that gender politics shit, leave that shot home, this man goes out of his way to help minorities.
Was this filmed on an Analog Camera?
lol, he just said Red State was he 2nd to last movie
Oh man that comment about us all die screaming is sad. He's said that's how his dad died...
the lady laughing sounds cute
the girl sounds like bmo from adventure time!
That woman coughing throughout the interview drove me fucking nuts.
Why does he assume critiques of his movies are aiming at his confidence for the joy of the critic? No way the work could be improved, it’s perfect as it came out? Also, reviews are for other potential viewers, not even for the greater themselves.
wtf?? the video felt like 5 min and is like half and hour
Indeed. "Hit Somebody," right?
True she does sound cute at times lol
How did these guys get a personal q&a with Kevin?? Is it his friends or something?
My mother always told me that she should have been Sandra Day O'Connor. I should have been Kevin Smith. (Sorry Mom)
i love how he talks so much that he forgets wat the point was lol
I only use rotten tomatoes from the people's ratings not the critics
wasn't this right after he ranted endlessly about getting kicked off a plane?
HOW THE FUCK DID U GUYS GET KEVIN SMITH?!?!?! wheres the contract and where do i sign my soul to do this too?
LOL This was set up by Avid. They contacted 4 schools with movie making programs, each school got to send 2 of their students to Kevin Smith's screening of Red State in Seattle. After the screening and the Q&A at the theater we were taken to a private room to meet him in person. I was really shocked that I was picked out of so many students. I also found it shocking that I was the only one who had a camera and videotaped him. I still go back and watch this when I need a pick me up. I am so glad I recorded the experience. Kevin Smith just blew my mind.
leconarose that truly is something precious that I hope u gaines alot of life lessons from it's true not alot of people get chances like that
im guessin the lady laughin is u?? lol
Don't be silly haha. The whole group seemed to be sharing an awesome vibe and they were comfortable. They were obviously having a good time chillin with Kevin. The girl chatting sounds very cute too Lol.
Was that you?
If you ever choose to re open the view askew universe you'll have if you will "my sword" AND MY AXE, and my BOW. Or if you want to go Star Wars Don't GET COCKY! Not sure if that helps but you've helped me through tough stuff. For christ sakes if you can keep the "let us fuck" t shirts in stock. Major fan, take care.
Kevin, Bruce Willis just likes to get paid. He's a stock character...'nuff said.
Aaaa
north brook history hahahahaahaha. go to sleep toenail. my shoe is missing you.
Luv the guy but why the hell does he wear that same jersey on every tv show every interview every public appearance whats the deal with that??
+Albert Karkour Its not the same, they're all different. Same colours, though, different designs.
He loves jerseys, what's the big deal?
The orange and blue colour scheme is because he loves Canada and the Edmonton Oilers is one of his favourite teams. He has multiple jerseys but the one constant on them all (or most of them) is #37! 😂
last couple of movies were made by weed and not by humans
But they were fucking amazing in my opinion. But I get why people don't like them
hot grunge chick!
You need to listen to more eduacted people. A lot more.
Those are the ignorant people who live in their parents basements and weigh 700 lbs. If they read anything in the news or listen the podcasts they would know the dude has lost nearly 80 lbs in the past year now.
Oh wow, who's the beautiful woman on the left? :)
he lost weight. nice
Really?? Fuck that's awesome. He must be super happy to finally lose it all. Trying to find a recent pic of him.
You should see him today.
Kevin, why can't you control your eating? Ask him that.
