What more can you say about a guy who’s been an open book for the last two-and-a-half decades? Herein lies the challenge of Malcolm Ingram’s warm, American Masters-style portrait of friend Kevin Smith, the kind of guy who frankly feels like a friend to all of his fans. The film, titled Clerk, allows others besides Silent Bob to contribute to the Smith story, chronicling his extensive career in filmmaking, comics, e-commerce, and podcasting. – John F. (full review)

Exclusive: 1091 Pictures has acquired rights to Clerk, the Malcolm Ingram-directed feature documentary about the life and career of filmmaker (and many other things) Kevin Smith. The pic, which had its premiere in March at SXSW, will now get a digital release November 23.
The news comes as Smith celebrates his 51st birthday Monday, which happens to be the same day he begins production on Clerks III, the long-in-the-works sequel to his self-funded 1994 indie smash that launched his career as a writer-director, actor, comic book guru, podcaster, producer and TV host. As Deadline broke last month, Lionsgate has worldwide rights to Clerks III, which includes all of the major cast member from the original including Jeff Anderson, Brian O’Halloran, Jay Mewes and Smith as Silent Bob, along with Rosario Dawson.

"More often than not, a hero’s most epic battle is the one you never see; it’s the battle that goes on within him or herself." Love him or hate him, Kevin Smith is a fascinating guy and iconic filmmaker. Love him or hate him, he has made 13 movies (so far), created a podcast empire, and cemented himself in pop culture history as a famous fanboy. Like many of us, he started as a film lover. He always wanted to be a storyteller, but had no idea if he could ever be successful. After seeing Linklater's Slacker, off he went to the Vancouver Film School in the 1990s, where he met producer / filmmaker Scott Mosier, and the rest is history. Malcolm Ingram's new documentary Clerk, which just premiered at the 2021 SXSW Film Festival, take us through Smith's entire life, examining his legacy and many accomplishments – both as a filmmaker and as a person.

The documentary begins with a moving confessional as the young Smith records a video thanking his dad before going off on his first adventure, leaving his Jersey shore enclave of Highlands for an accelerated film program in Vancouver.

Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein is now in a correctional facility, facing 23 years in prison in addition to pending Los Angeles charges, and documentarian Malcolm Ingram has made a film about one of Weinstein’s success stories, Kevin Smith. However, telling Variety that “You can’t tell this fairytale story without mentioning the monster,” he opened up about the shady financial dealings of the former movie magnate while supporting the filmmaker’s 1994 debut, “Clerks.”
Smith said he sold “Clerks” to Harvey Weinstein and Miramax out of the 1994 Sundance Film Festival for $227,000, with Smith to receive a backend if the movie profited theatrically. The black-and-white indie that centered on a group of foul-mouthed video store employees grossed $3.2 million in North America, and went on to become an endlessly imitated cult hit.

Kevin Smith sold his first movie, “Clerks,” to Harvey Weinstein out of the Sundance Film Festival in 1994.
Weinstein, who ran Miramax at the time, shelled out $227,000 for the black-and-white movie set in a video store. But their agreement allowed for Smith to receive a backend if the movie became profitable.
That fall, “Clerks” grossed $3.2 million in North American theaters. And it generated tens of millions more on VHS, as it became a cult hit.
Now, in a recent interview with Variety, Smith reveals that it took Weinstein seven years to pay him back some of the royalties that he was owed. And even then, Weinstein deployed sketchy accounting tactics, like billing “Clerks” for the costs associated with renting a yacht for “Pulp Fiction” at the Cannes Film Festival.
Weinstein, who is serving 23 years in prison after being convicted in February of a criminal sex act and rape, could not be reached for comment,...

Although it perhaps didn’t come in a director-approved form, the release of a nonetheless recommended new Brian De Palma film this summer has many looking back on his career. Perhaps one of the most specific examinations will come in the form of a new documentary, Phantom of Winnipeg, which explores the massive cult success of his 1974 rock musical Phantom of the Paradise in Winnipeg.
Malcolm Ingram and Sean Stanley’s film is set to have its world premiere at Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival this weekend and the U.S. premiere at Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival in Tarrytown, NY, which runs October 10-13. Ahead of the debuts, the first trailer and poster have arrived.
Back in our De Palma symposium in 2016, Jacob Oller wrote about the film, which played in the Manitoba city for 18 consecutive weeks, saying, “Phantom of the Paradise is not just one of the flashiest,...

While some cities are known for having midnight screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show for decades, Winnipeg is the city that never stopped championing Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise since it was first released in 1974. The city's obsession with the cult film is explored in Malcolm Ingram and Sean Stanley’s new documentary Phantom of Winnipeg, which will make its Us premiere at this year's Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival.
Press Release: Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival (Shiff) proudly announces the U.S. premiere of directors Malcolm Ingram and Sean Stanley’s Phantom Of Winnipeg, a rollicking, deeply-felt love letter to the 1974 Brian De Palma cult classic Phantom Of The Paradise.

"Why us? Why Winnipeg? There's so many theories..." A full-length official trailer has debuted for an indie documentary titled Phantom of Winnipeg, an obscure, fascinating look at an odd phenomenon. The doc film tells the story of how Brian De Palma's cult favorite musical Phantom of the Paradise (first released in 1974) became a local sensation in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. "Phantom of the Paradise proved hugely popular among young Winnipeggers, whose enthusiasm for the movie reportedly kept it playing at the city's Garrick Cinema for 18 straight weeks... [Years later] in 2005, the city celebrated the movie with a festival, 'Phantompalooza', which featured appearances by cast members Gerrit Graham and the late William Finley." The film originally flopped at the box office 45 years ago, but has clearly found some fans over time. Here's the first official trailer for Malcolm Ingram's doc Phantom of Winnipeg, originally from EW.com: A documentary about the unique-to-...

Once again, The Film Experience and Doc Corner is celebrating Pride Month with a focus on documentaries that tackle Lgbtiq themes.
This week I am looking at four films, each of which focus around the fight for equality and Lgbtiq history across America. My favourite of the group is Southern Pride, a continuation of director Malcolm Ingram’s first documentary Small Town Gay Bar. Where that film navigated the communities around the bars Rumors and Crossroads, Southern Pride delves into two different bars – Just Us Lounge in Biloxi and KlubXclusive in Hattiesburg – as they attempt to pride events on the state’s gulf coast, the first of their kind.
Just Us owner Lynn Koval is the force behind the primary event with even RuPaul’s Drag Race competitor Gia Gunn booked, while KlubX’s Shawn Perryon, the recipient of a racist jailing for pot, who seeks to...

Brian De Palma’s largely forgotten rock musical Phantom of the Paradise quickly disappeared from theaters, a near-universal flop, when it was released in 1974. Except, for some reason, in the Canadian city of Winnipeg, where it was a blockbuster and developed an intensely devoted following that continues to this day. The cult is the subject of a new documentary from Sundance alum director Malcolm Ingram (Small Town Gay Bar, Continental) that’s just gone into production. Ph…...

Malcolm Ingram, director of the acclaimed, award-winning documentary "Small Town Gay Bar," is back with another film focusing on the Lgbt experience. "Out to Win" profiles a collection of athletes who have come out, and chronicles the history of Lgbt individuals in the world of professional sports. Included in the documentary from the looks of the trailer (posted below) are Jason Collins, the first openly gay person to play in the NBA, and Martina Navratilova, a lauded tennis player with 59 Grand Slam titles to her name. "The playbook is you come out a few years after you retire, and I didn't want that to be me," Collins explains in the trailer. Though the issue has been magnified in recent years with Collins and football star Michael Sam publicly coming out, "Out to Win" should shed a light on a severely-underreported experience in the world of athletics.

Amy Schumer and Bill Hader in TrainwreckPhoto: Universal Pictures With Sundance just wrapping up and Berlin starting up in a few days, we are now immersed in the year-long barrage of film festivals. One such festival in South By Southwest. A few weeks back they announced the first seven films of their program, including the opening night film Brand: A Second Coming. Today, they have revealed the rest of the features to be shown in March (except for the midnight program), and some of it has me very excited. The bigger titles announced do not do much for me. Paul Feig's Spy, starring Melissa McCarthy, and the Will Ferrell/Kevin Hart starrer Get Hard leave a lot to be desired in terms of anticipation, as does a work in progress cut of Judd Apatow's latest film Trainwreck. I'm guessing an Apatow work in progress is probably around three and a half hours.

The documentary Continental faces a tough challenge: Very little film footage or still photos exist for the legendary NYC bathhouse in its heyday. It's understandable -- this was not a place where many people wanted their pictures taken. But it means Continental has to drum up visual interest in other ways.
The movie takes us along on a breezy historical tour of the Continental Baths, one of the most well known and innovative bathhouses in New York in its prime. Steve Ostrow invested in the facility when it was a dark, dank warren of gay sex, and transformed it into a sophisticated gathering place and much cleaner, safer warren of gay sex. Eventually the Continental even drew a straight nightclub crowd for its concerts -- this is the place where Bette Midler launched her career.
Midler isn't one of the interview subjects -- she's represented only by still photos --...

Coming on the heels of some exceptionally strong Lgbt docs at both Sundance (Marta Cunningham's "Valentine Road" and Roger Ross Williams' "God Loves Uganda") and Berlin (Sébastien Lifshitz's "Bambi" and Angela Christlieb's "Naked Opera"), SXSW continued what is clearly shaping up to become a banner year. In its previous two editions, SXSW was the theatrical birthplace of both Andrew Haigh's romantic drama "Weekend" and Jonathan Lisecki's gay man/straight girl romantic comedy "Gayby," establishing the festival as just as reliable a place to find quality queer narrative films as its two aforementioned predecessors. But this year was all about non-fiction. Three documentaries -- Malcolm Ingram's "Continental," Jeffrey Schwarz's "I Am Divine" and Pj Raval's "Before You Know It" -- each premiered at the fest, and each will deservedly be a highlight at the scores of doc and Lgbt-focused festivals they'll surely...

Documentary filmmaker Malcolm Ingram, whose work has focused on issues facing the gay community, tells the historical story of the notorious 1970s New York City bathhouse that transcended sexuality in "Contintental." The film charts the pivotal role the Continental Bathhouse played in social tolerance and the creation of a safe haven for gay men at the time, as well as being a hub for the discovery of several legendary musicians. What it's about: "Continental" is the story of the infamous bathhouse in New York City that came to prominence in the 1970s that's known today mostly as the place where Bette Midler was discovered. It's is a stylish examination of a hedonistic clubhouse that opened pre-Stonewall and helped usher in a new age of sexual freedoms, social tolerance and creative energy. What else do you want audiences to know about your film? I would like audiences to realize, like I did while shooting this project,...

South by Southwest (SXSW) is just one of many film festivals, we here at Sound On Sight cover yearly. The fest, which takes place every spring in Austin, Texas, began in 1987, and has continued to grow in size every year. The fest announced the first wave of films back in early January, and the lineup included some highly anticipated films such as The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Evil Dead, Downloaded and Spring Breakers. Now the full lineup has been announced, and it just might be one of the best lineups the festival has ever programmed.
SXSW takes place March 8-16 in Austin Texas. Here are just some of the films we are excited about.
Narrative Feature Competition – This year’s 8 films were selected from 1,191 submissions. Each film is a World Premiere.

Some of the best films of the 2012/2013 calender year from Richard Linklater, Harmony Korine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Andrew Bujalski, Jeff Nichols, David Gordon Green, Shane Carruth and Joshua Oppenheimer are among the headliner names for the 2013 edition of the South by Southwest Film Festival. With a little over 100 plus film line-up (a whopping 2000+ titles were submitted), almost 70 are world premieres: there is the highly anticipated sophomore film (that has been on our radar since it first went into production) with M. Blash’s (The Wait), Joe Swanberg who makes SXSW his second home will premiere Drinking Buddies, veteran indie filmmaker John Sayles saddles in with Go For Sisters, and rounding out the Narrative Spotlight section we’ve got The Bounceback from Bryan Poyser, Loves Her Gun from Geoff Marslett along with titles we thought might break into Park City, but found an Austin home instead with Jacob Vaughan’s Milo and...

When given the chance, most sane people flee the colder areas of the country in favor of tropical locations in January. However, movie fans turn away from the dreadful selection of films in the marketplace and focus their attention to Park City, Utah, for the Sundance Film Festival. While our elite writers are checking out the many films at Sundance, it’s time for another commentary on a film’s commentary. The choice this week is Kevin Smith’s breakthrough picture Clerks. Clerks wasn’t discovered at Sundance, but it was a breakout hit at the festival in 1994. This week, let’s forget about the Red State auction shenanigans, feuds with Southwest Air, and various Twitter explosions. We can turn back the clock to 1995 when Smith sat down with his cohorts to record the commentary to what is possibly his best-known film. For fans of the film, and Smith’s career, much...

Over the past few years, Kevin Smith has waged a very vocal war against film critics. After the poor reception of Cop Out, he vowed to never to allow these "freeloaders" to screen any of his movies again, and when Red State eventually hit theatres, he pretty much stuck to that plan. He has insisted that the only people who deserve to see his movies for free in advance are longtime fans and average joes who will truly appreciate it. While it might seem like he just can't handle criticism, somehow he has turned it into a class war. Ironically, this week Smith has announced a new movie-related show that he will be hosting on Hulu called Spoilers. The premise? He and fifty other random folks watch a current movie and then discuss it afterward. Does this mean Smith is suddenly becoming a critic himself? Well, according to him, they don't review movies,...

Though most critics will fess up to owing some part of their formative years to Kevin Smith’s films and speaking engagements, the filmmake- oh wait, raconteur, has subsequently squandered that goodwill by taking to Twitter, podcasts, and interviews to essentially dismiss professional criticism entirely. If that weren’t enough to enrage those who feel they can see a film for free and still hold a fair opinion on it, Smith has now announced plans to democratize film criticism with his own Hulu show starting this summer.
Based out of his SmodCo Studios on Universal City Walk, Smith will present a new show, “Spoilers,” which features himself along with 50 citizen co-hosts reviewing the newest summer blockbuster each week. Explaining his Polyphonic Spree of critics in a Wired interview, Smith said, “We take them out and pay for them to go see the movie, kick back — on opening day, none of this early bullshit,...

Back in the late 1990s, you only had two options for discussing movies. You could hang out with friends in the parking lot or late night waffle hut afterward, complaining about nipples on Batman, or you could go online to sites like Aint It Cool and Movie Poop Shoot to give unbridled, anonymous opinions slathered with as much cursing vitriol as you pleased. That’s what the internet has given us. A tool to help social uprisings, and a forum for hiding your identity while calling Joel Schumacher a “douchenozzle.” That wide-ranging usefulness is a thing of beauty, and Kevin Smith is seeking to tap into it with his new show, Spoilers. The set up is simple: Smith will amass a crowd of 50 movie fans to watch a film and then discuss it afterward. Smith will play ringmaster, and members of the opinion-loaded audience will get to share to their heart’s content. In...

Red State may be marketed directly at fans of Jay & Silent Bob but it's his most un-Kevin Smith film to date
Kevin Smith is recounting the time he told Harvey Weinstein to shut the fuck up. "I open the curtain at the back and I see Harvey outside, talking," recalls Smith. It was the premiere of his new movie Red State at the Sundance festival and Weinstein, his former boss and mentor, had promised to attend. But instead he was checking the American football scores. "He's talking about the Jets. Loud as fuck. The opening of my movie, first seven minutes. Old Kev just would have gone, 'Harvey, shh, movie's on.' But it disgusted me so much. It doesn't get much more heartbreaking. So I fuckin' lost it, and I went out and said, 'Hey. Shut the fuck up!' And he looked at me with fuckin' hate in his eyes.

I don’t know if I’ve ever been struck so sharply as I was by this piece over at Bilerico.com, “Lady Gaga Is Not An Ally To Our Community.” Before you get up in arms, go read it. She’s not an ally, because she’s a member, and we need to remember to acknowledge that.
Jake Gyllenhaal has shaved his head for a new cop movie. He pulls the look off, and not everyone can. I know I can’t and for me the best part of boot camp was that everyone looks as ridiculous as you do.
Twitter has signed a new lease that keeps the headquarters in San Francisco after the city council passed a break in the payroll tax.

Contrary to the poster for Catfish, which declares “Don’t let anyone tell you want it is.” the following will in detail discuss the film and therefore reveal elements of the plot that some would perhaps rather remain a mystery until they are unravelled on screen. Although the film is constructed in a way that builds the tension for the reveal in the second half, to watch Catfish is still a fascinating experience even if one is already aware of many of the specifics of the story. Discussing the film without revealing specifics is infinitely less fascinating so be aware that the following contains spoilers.
Catfish begins as a relatively innocuous documentary about the innocent online relationship that 24 year old Nev Schulman (brother of one of the directors, Ariel) has with an 8 year old girl named Abby. The relationship begins when Abby paints one of Nev’s photos and impressed...

Good things come to those who wait and for those who feel as though they've suffered through a year of largely uninspired films up to now will likely breathe a sigh of relief at the sound of names like Darren Aronofsky, Sofia Coppola and Peter Weir. 'Tis the season for Jim Carrey to take a pay cut to star in a gay romance like "I Love You Phillip Morris" or Javier Bardem is whispering sweet nothings to spirits in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarittu's "Biutiful" rather than Julia Roberts.
There is the naughty -- Kristen Stewart stripping in "Welcome to the Rileys," the would-be terrorists of the Brit comedy "Four Lions," or the evil Santa in "Rare Exports" -- and the nice -- the tap-dancing lovers in "Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench," the glory of James Franco's daredevil surviving "127 Hours" and Colin Firth's verbally-challenged royal conquering his stutter in "The King's Speech.

The line on this particular Saturday night snaked down Santa Monica Blvd. full of eager fans ready to pack into a small nondescript 50-seat theater in Hollywood’s Theater Row. Nothing out of the ordinary for this neighborhood, except that they were all here to watch a web show. I tagged along with this crowd for opening weekend of Kevin Smith’s SModcastle, the new home to his burgeoning network of podcasts with his friends. When you walk into the place, you can tell that the Clerks director and New Jersey native had his hands dirty with every detail of the renovations on the place, right down to the New Jersey Devils carpeting and hand railings made from hockey sticks. I’m there for what seems to be the flagship show of this theater, a taping of Smith’s already popular weekly SModcast 3D show with his co-host (and producing partner) Scott Mosier.
