Kevin Smith always wanted to make a movie about his life with his friends. Back in 1994, though, he realized the only person who'd ever make that film was Kevin Smith.
The result, Clerks, helped launch his now-seasoned career.
Smith talked to Mashable about his life since Clerks, his love for Reddit and how his newest film, Tusk, was created with his biggest fan in mind: himself.
Tusk opens in theaters on Sept. 19.
