Wednesday Video Spotlight: Oklahoma-made short film "Clerks Too" premieres online

Last month, I told you about James Nghiem’s first full-blown film project, the mini-movie “Clerks Too.”

Originally devised as a shot-for-shot remake of Kevin Smith’s 1994 cult comedy hit “Clerks,” the Norman comedian/musician’s “Clerks Too” instead became a 37-minute short about one man’s misguided quest to create a shot-for-shot remake of “Clerks.”

“‘Clerks’ is one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid. Also, I wanted to get like everybody in the (Oklahoma City) comedy scene involved. And if I was gonna redo a movie that had just like a million random parts, I would think of ‘Clerks’ ’cause there’s like a ton of small parts that people just pop in, say a line and disappear,” Nghiem told me in an interview.

Fun fact: Just after it initially ran, Smith retweeted the link of my story about “Clerks Too” to his more than 2 million Twitter followers @ThatKevinSmith.

Another fun fact: Today, Nghiem published his full short film on YouTube for the whole world to behold. Like Smith’s original film, it’s NSFW due to strong language, but if you and your boss are OK with that, please enjoy responsibly:
