John Cassavetes

We properly kick off the Closed Set podcast with a celebration of the life and work of John Cassavetes (1929-1989), a pioneer of independent American cinema responsible for films like Shadows, Faces, A Woman Under the Influence, and Love Streams. A uniquely talented director, actor, screenwriter, and playwright, Cassavetes remains beloved by filmmakers and cinephiles alike for his raw, honest, and most importantly, nuanced examinations of love and life. Kisses many.
