- This just in for a very cool university professor in Michigan: This summer, he’s offering a new class on the schedule: a one-week film course dedicated solely to Kevin’s work. This class is being taught at Central Michigan University, in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. The description from the registrar’s website reads as follows:
This course will examine the films of prolific Indy film director Kevin Smith. It will delve into Smith’s history, his entry into filmmaking, his development as a director and writer, and explore motifs and themes as seen in his films. The course will also examine Smith’s trademark “wordy” style in terms of storytelling and narrative flow. 22020171 M Tu W Th 03:30-06:50PM Moore 109 Smith, Jeffrey. Class meets MAY 21 – MAY 24

Talk about a great excuse to go back to school! If anyone is interested in coming to the scenic “middle-of-the-state” area for a week, the class caps at (I think) 40 students, though it could probably be bumped higher if the need arose. Professor Jeff tells us that he may even ask Kevin to pop in for a day if it suits his schedule.
