1) Realize that Scott Mosier is the brains of the outfit. I met the duo at an IFP/West screening the day "Clerks" won its MPAA appeal, and although Kevin is a great guy and a great writer, it's Scott who makes everything work. Stop being a freakin sycophant. Stop ignorning the man behind the curtain.
2) NOBODY worth anything in the film industry is just going to spread the legs open for you to ream them royally up the poothole. Just because you worship the Almighty Smith doesn't mean he has to do jack for you.
3) Getting Kevin Smith to appear in your movie is NOT going to make your movie any better. And even if by some miracle you did get Kevin in your movie, so what? Do you think you're movie is going to get accepted to Sundance or Cannes just because Fat Ass is in it?
4) Smith is overexposed anyway. If you REALLY want to be cool, get Mewes! He's cheap, instantly identifiable, well liked and easy to control. Just put it up in your parent's basement for a few weeks with a baggie of blunts and a case of Salt & Vinegar Pringles and you're set.
