This is another installment in the series of Kevin Smith Q&A sessions. These clips were taken from one event filmed in Austin, Texas after a screening of Smith's film "Red State."
The best story he told - also, the longest - traced his conflict with an ultra-conservative church whose actions, to an extent, inspired the script for "Red State." He explained his combative relationship with the members of the church, as well as how he organized his counter-protests when they began attempting to picket screenings of his film.
For the first time, Smith's usually lighthearted demeanor took a slightly darker turn, as he discussed his father's death. Yet, never to let an opportunity pass, he uses it as a springboard to encourage everyone to get out and do something with their lives.
I'd highly recommend that you see "Red State" before seeing this. In fact, I'd recommend viewing all of Kevin Smith's movies and previous Q&A releases before seeing this. But if you're already a Kevin Smith geek, it's worth checking out.
