Kevin Smith Upclose and Personal

Filmmaker Kevin Smith talks candidly about his admiration for Wayne Gretzky, his love of marijuana and his innovative plan to distribute his new movie, Red State , himself. We met with Smith as he embarks on a cross country tour screening the film in major venues. He discusses his rationale for bucking the traditional marketing route, reflects on his career in Hollywood, how smoking pot makes him more at ease with himself, and how some of his box office failures made him re-evaluate his ambition as a filmmaker.
