Filmmaker Malcolm Ingram talks about his Kevin Smith Documentary Clerk and its world premiere at South By Southwest (SXSW)festival in Austin, TX.

Ingram, a longtime friend of fanboy filmmaker Kevin Smith essentially grew up in the film industry together as the latter went into debt to make his first full length feature film Clerks, which celebrates its Silver Anniversary this year.

Ingram spent three years with Smith in making this documentary and at one point during filming, the two refused to talk to each other over a particular person who is walking human waste that Ingram absolutely did not want featured in Clerk, but that Smith insisted on explaining the situation.

Official Synopsis:

Clerk is an examination and celebration of the life of Kevin Smith - and an exploration on how one kid from Jersey completely transformed the cultural landscape. A journey which began 25 years ago at the Sundance Film festival where his DIY film ‘Clerks’, financed on credit cards took the film world by storm. Leading to a career as a filmmaker, podcaster, stand-up comedian, author, comic book writer, television producer - a veritable pop culture icon with a very large and loyal fanbase.

We conducted a phone interview with Ingram about Clerk, how the film Clerks has influenced two generations of filmmakers since it debuted in 1994, the openness of Kevin Smith, how Ingram was on stage at another film festival when the bidding for Red State was to commence and even handed Smith the hockey stick during the auction.

Our conversation was very candid, open and a lot of fun, which he and I will have to pick up at another date when discussing future projects or just out in Los Angeles, CA having a beer.

Clerk is available for screen at the SXSW official website at www.sxsw.com.
