  • Yesterday, we announced that Kevin will receive the “Vision Award” from the Filmmakers Alliance on August 20th. They’ve now added the following details to their site:


      Kevin Smith: 2008 Vision Award Recipient

      Kevin Smith is, quite simply, an indie film icon – having helped spawn an entire generation of DIY filmmakers with his first feature, Clerks. And although its success has brought him uncomfortably close to Hollywood’s orbit, he has always maintained a defiant individuality and endearing unconventionality. However, his contribution to independent film extends beyond his own filmmaking work, including Executive Producing the documentaries, Reel Paradise and Small Town Gay Bar, as well as four $40,000 features, A Better Place, Drawing Flies, Big Helium Dog, and Vulgar.

      Filmmakers Alliance is proud to recognize this outspoken iconoclast for his singular body of work and his commitment and contribution to truly independent filmmaking.


    And we are very proud to send our heartiest congrats to Kevin for this outstanding honor.
