Hard to believe it has been 27 years since Kevin Smith and the Quik Stop entered our lives and how much of an impact Clerks made on those of us that were aspiring filmmakers. Not just the content itself, but the dream that YOU COULD DO IT! You could make a movie about whatever you wanted and if it was funny and had a great script and great characters, it could change the game. Kevin Smith has gone on to such much more since then and you will find it all in Kevin Smith's Secret Stash.

Information on ordering signed books is coming soon, but for those that can attend, we wanted to make sure you had this information.

Join legendary director Kevin Smith LIVE in Hollywood to celebrate the release of his career-spanning book Kevin Smith's Secret Stash: The Definitive Visual History. Purchase all of your parties tickets in one order, so seats can be allocated together.

Making the leap from convenience store worker to international film icon, Kevin Smith has spent over twenty-five years at the forefront of pop culture. In this hilariously candid treasure trove of artifacts and anecdotes, Kevin tells the full story of his incredible life for the first time, from his early days in Highlands, New Jersey, through to the breakout success of low-budget indie smash Clerks in 1994, and the series of hit films that allowed him to build his own cinematic “View Askewniverse.”

This sounds like such a fun event for Kevin Smith fans! His journey from indie filmmaker to pop culture icon is so inspiring. I’ve always loved how he encourages people to chase their creative dreams. It reminds me of a discussion I came across on Wheelie Life about turning unconventional passions into fulfilling careers. Definitely adding his new book to my reading list!

This brings back so many memories of discovering *Clerks* and realizing filmmaking wasn’t just for big studios—it could be personal and raw. Kevin Smith’s journey is such a wild ride. I actually wrote about creative DIY projects on Cobb Can Move, and his story feels like the ultimate example of turning passion into reality.

Block Blast, the game, and Kevin Smith's story are both incredibly addictive: starting simply but becoming more captivating the deeper you delve.

This sounds like such a cool event! Kevin Smith’s journey from Clerks to building an entire "View Askewniverse" is so inspiring. It reminds me of some discussions I’ve seen on indie filmmaking over at Crazy Cattle 3D. Makes me want to dust off some old scripts and dive back into creative projects!
