Mr. Smith, my brother was your biggest fan and he passed away this week. He unfortunately never saw Clerks 3, but Clerks was his favorite film. But you were his hero and I'm sorry he never got to meet you. I'd appreciate if you could just say something nice, I could read at his service. It doesn't matter what you say but the fact that Kevin Smith cared enough to even do something like that. it would have meant everything to him. So I know it's a long shot, but it'd mean the world to him, to me, to my family to just t least reply and say something. Anything really, he was the funniest man I ever knew. He would have made you laugh, I'm sure. He hoped to make movies with you one day. But I'll stop ranting, I'd appreciate any words from you sir,, truly it would mean so much. In your own words, he's not even supposed to be here today.
God bless you and your family during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Although we have never met and I’m obviously not KEVIN.. I just want you to know I’m here if you want to talk. I myself love how Kevin is just a down to Earth person.. His words touch me especially when he says just do something. Writing has become a big part of my life now, just writing in a notebook helps wether it’s a short story of a couple sentences to a song. Any way if you want to just chat I’m here. I’m Michael by the way.
My condolences on the loss of your brother. His love will be with you forever. He may have never seen Clerks 3 while he was down here, but I'm sure he's enjoying it up in heaven. May you and your family be well blessed and well loved always.
Was AMAZING seeing our movie up on the big screen at this festival. We did not get nominated, but couldn’t be happier for everyone involved! ❤ congratulations to all the winners in this video. Thank you, Ernie O’Donnell and Kevin Smith for letting us be part of this tremendous first festival! Can’t wait to see what happens next year, and the year after that, and so forth…
Such an incredible honour to be part of the first Smodcastle festival and to have our film "Dead on the Vine" win the very first Best Drama Feature. Thank you Kevin and Ernie for a fantastic week, you guys are truly an inspiration to all filmmakers.
I watched this late last night on my "night off" during an all day editing of my video. I was getting worn out being it's my day off from working at a pet store and having 3 kids. I was thinking of being done for the night. However when Kevin said if you made a thing this year you're a winner was the exact thing I needed to hear to keep working another 4 hrs. So Thank you Kevin. 😊 I know you weren't talking to me, but it motivated me all the same.
This is different. Never expected this to come from Kev buying into a cinema. I'm here for it though and it might be the first awards ceremony I enjoy from start to finish.
Such an honor to have our short film STALKED screen and be nominated for an award at the inaugural fest. Huge thank you to Kevin and Ernie for creating an event that shines a light on so many talented artists. Congrats to all the winners, nominees, and official selections!
Kevin is such an amazing storyteller. I’ve heard most of these stories several times and they’re always fresh and captivating. Full of laughs and occasionally emotional at just the right times in just the right amount. I know this guy has another amazing film in him.
I enjoyed these awards and believe it or not, after all the Fatman Beyonds I actually heard Kevin talk about some things I've never heard him talk about before (when he talked about the things the money for Clerks went to). I wondered if the people who couldn't be there to accept their awards just couldn't afford the cost of the trip? Perhaps next year there can be some way to include contestants via stream if they are unable to attend for whatever reason? Hate to see people not be able to accept their accolades. Thanks Kevin and Ernie for making the film festival so enjoyable and congratulations to all the winners!
Nice thing, that i noticed: every time kevin downplays his movies he says "i made..." when he tells us about something great in connection to his movies he says "we made..."
As soon as I went on youtube the first time all day after a long day of work this instantly was uploaded! Kevin Smith how did you know King Prankxta was Ready for more of your content? Love you fam
Always been a fan of Kevin Smith, and maybe I'll make something he'll watch one day. (At 37 it's probably going to involve helping my kids tell their stories.)
Great first show Kevin! Maybe clips of the film next time. Right as I was typing this out you said as much. Lol. As long as now one gets slapped you did great!
Wow the 37th Comment !!! I'm not going to lie I was a little upset that my animated short VEIL CORP *here on my channel* didn't make the festival. But seeing that there were no awards given for animation I don't feel so bad anymore. Congrats to all the winners.
Oops I spoke too soon they gave the award for animation an hour and 20 minutes in. Had I been nominated, I WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP !!! But I'm not bitter. :)
Whether through your movies, movie reviews, podcasts or storytelling, you always find a way to make me cry. You never cry alone and I’m a lifelong fan. Kevin you’re a fantastic human being ❤️
@@BrandByAngel In todays digital world?Doesn't cost money if you already own the theater and can take small clips of each film (which is most likely digitized even if captured on real film) and input it into the hard drive of the projector. All it takes is someones freetime or the low price of one employees work hour. I've done it and just ran movies off my hard drive.
@@blurtednonsense5631 yeah good points but I figured something about copyright. I don’t think you can just play clips to an audience (and the streaming audience) without the rights.
@Otto Phil first annual is a misnomer. You cannot ever have a first annual until you have had a second one. Just because it is the first time this event has happened, it does not make it annual until you have had a second one. Hence, the use of the proper word inaugural. No dum dum required. Just proper English.
Mad disrespect on the first Woman who won. Not even knowing shit about Mooby's... They should have taken her win away right there, because that was such a massive fail. Embarrassing.

Chelsie, I'm so sorry. May you keep his love with you
Hey he might not read it here but if you tweet him he usually does

Gosh these awards are going to be huge in years to come
It’s lovely hearing the stories of how their stories came to be, thank you for your wise words 😊
It’s crazy to see sensitive Kevin these days. Very sentimental and kind. I like seeing his journey.
One of the most enjoyable "awards" shows I've seen. Bravo! Bon chance Smodcastle!
im so happy kevin smith is actually on yt
Kevin is such an amazing storyteller. I’ve heard most of these stories several times and they’re always fresh and captivating. Full of laughs and occasionally emotional at just the right times in just the right amount. I know this guy has another amazing film in him.
Yess!!!! Congratulations all
I hope to talk to you again Kevin and catch you up on everything. "I'm where I am because of dreams." Truer words never spoken.
I loved this. I wish I had seen the movies before hand. A paid for link would have been great.

17:50 hurray for Kelly Vrooman and Erin Brown Thomas! Rekindled for life! 🎉🎉🎉
We love to see it 👏🏽!
Horray!
As soon as I went on youtube the first time all day after a long day of work this instantly was uploaded! Kevin Smith how did you know King Prankxta was Ready for more of your content? Love you fam
Kevin is wearing a coat like those guys that jump horses over obstacles in the Olympics.
This is how an awards show should be done.
16:15 big fan huh?
It's funny how the first winner exclaimed 'Holy Cow' when she won the award, but then proceeds to call the award a pig.
Always been a fan of Kevin Smith, and maybe I'll make something he'll watch one day. (At 37 it's probably going to involve helping my kids tell their stories.)
I can't believe I missed this live ceremony 😢
This is very exciting. All of us 70’s/80’s kids are loving this dream come true. Good on you Kevin. Love living vicariously through you.
Great first show Kevin! Maybe clips of the film next time. Right as I was typing this out you said as much. Lol. As long as now one gets slapped you did great!
This would of been great if this was live. Still don’t know what happen at scum and villainy the other day with the mic test and LOR thing that wasn’t
16:15 true Kevin Smith fan right there😬
Wakanda forever. I Love you Kevin Smith, Creep it real
I miss Scotty Mo

Amazon has the comedy feature winner Marshmallow Mystery Tour
@@hannahbeals9044 thanks!
Some are on Vimeo!
WOW
❤
😭 secret cow level
I wish they would show a small clip of the nominated films
Cost money
@@BrandByAngel In todays digital world?Doesn't cost money if you already own the theater and can take small clips of each film (which is most likely digitized even if captured on real film) and input it into the hard drive of the projector.

Golden Pig....smh
I think you mean inaugural. Not first annual.
Annual means once a year dumb dumb. He will do it again in a year, and you’re gonna feel bad with your fancy word
@Otto Phil first annual is a misnomer. You cannot ever have a first annual until you have had a second one. Just because it is the first time this event has happened, it does not make it annual until you have had a second one. Hence, the use of the proper word inaugural. No dum dum required. Just proper English.
@@cormiergamesi know. I was telling you proper doesnt matter. Still am
Mad disrespect on the first Woman who won. Not even knowing shit about Mooby's... They should have taken her win away right there, because that was such a massive fail. Embarrassing.
she mispoke i didnt even know it was moby!
🐖.......well, she's not a fan...LoL
she probaly is i didnt even know it was mooby at first!
Kevin Smith declares the pandemic is over 3 times in the first 3 minutes...🙄
so many things wrong with this "ceremony"....c'mon Kev....do better!
