Kevin Smith: '4:30 Movie' is my chance at a 'Merchant & Ivory'-style period piece

NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- Dogma, Clerks and Chasing Amy writer-director Kevin Smith says his 1980s-set film, The 4:30 Movie, celebrates a type of cinema-going culture that is sadly dwindling in the time of cellphones.

"When we were kids, we congregated," Smith, 54, told UPI in a Zoom interview Monday. "The movie theater was our church, the center of the community, the town hall."
