Famously shot on a shoestring budget of less than $30,000, CLERKS launched the career of indie legend Kevin Smith and won over audiences with its raw energy, irreverent humor, and proudly scuzzy lo-fi aesthetic. Over the course of one eventful day at a New Jersey convenience store, clerk Dante (Brian O’Halloran) and his friend Randal (Jeff Anderson), who works at the video store next door, ponder everything from their relationship troubles to the ending of RETURN OF THE JEDI while dealing with a parade of unpredictable customers—including View Askewneverse mainstays Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (played by Smith) in their film debut.
