Hey guys, I remember reading on the newsaskiew website a while back that Mewes had been working on a non-View Askew film. What that film was at the time, me mind is a bit hazy there. But alas, here in San Jose, CA at our annual film festival, Cinequest, I saw a film last night, “My Big Fat Independent Movie.” The description is along the lines of what “Blazzing Saddles” did for westerns, and what “Scary Movie” did for horrow movies. So this flick would do the same for independent films.

Well anyways as the voice of an answering machine, is none other than Jason Mewes. A nice surprise in a pretty good film. But I was surprised there wasn’t any reference to anything else View Askew.

There was a post Q&A after the screening, and I asked about why no “Clerks” ? Basically, they couldn’t fit all they wanted to put in. One of the things left on the cutting room floor was the diner scene from “Chasing Amy.” The film was Written by Chris Gore and Directed by Philip Zlotorynski. Later.

Perhaps we’ll see form Clerks stuff in the eventual deleted scenes section of the film’s DVD. We’ll keep you posted.
