@thatkevinsmith THE 4:30 MOVIE is in theaters TODAY, so I want to thank my fantastic cast (who I’m group-hugging at picture wrap in the pic) for recreating one of the best days of my life, circa 1986!
@austinzajur - you imbued Brian David with a sweet soul that shines through the entire flick. Thanks for letting me revisit the movie loving kid who got me here.
@sienaagudong - you made Melody Barnegat damn near ethereal! Thank you for epitomizing the girl of Brian’s dreams.
@nick_v_cirillo - you gave breath to Burny so convincingly, I now confuse you with
@odblues7.
@reednorthrup - your Belly is showing, and he’s as warm and wonderful as the real guy.
@kenjeong - you are as kind as you are hilarious and the exact opposite of Manager Mike in every way. Next flick, you get to curse all you want.
And to
@smodcastlecinemas - for killing it in the role of The Atlantic Cinemas, Where the Movies Come to Play!
On these professional liars’ strong shoulders, I was carried back in time to an age when the neighborhood movie theater was still the center of all existence as well as the only social media we needed. Thank you, as always, to
@jordanmonsanto &
@destrofilms for getting the movie made. And thank you to the good folks at
@saban_films for financing this love letter to sitting in a dark room with people you care about watching some make-pretend parables that all end happily ever after. I may be 54 and we may live in a divided, cynical age - but I still believe in movie magic and the transformative power of cinema. And as my 16th film in 30 years heads out into the world, I remain slobberingly grateful that I ever got a chance to do this job in the first place. Thank you for calling me a filmmaker - even when you call me a bad one: because films are the faith my religion runs on. #KevinSmith #the430movie
