Larry Clark was sitting at the fountain in Washington Square Park watching and talking to skaters (this would have been in the early 90s) and a kid approached him and started talking movies. This kid (Harmony Korine) impressed him with his knowledge of film, and a year later, when Clark had the idea for what would become Kids, he got in touch with Korine about a screenplay for the movie. According to Clark, Korine knocked out the script in three weeks.
