Shadows
The directorial debut of john Cassavetes revolves around a romance in nyc between Lelia, a pale - skinned black woman, a man, and Tony. The connection is put in peril when Tony matches Hugh, Lelia's darker-skinned jazz singer brother, and discovers her racial heritage just isn't exactly what he thought it was. Shot on location in Manhattan with team and a mostly nonprofessional cast, Shadows is really just a work that's widely known as the forerunner of this American independent film movement.
