In this episode, the focus is on indie filmmaking and the influential work of filmmaker John Cassavetes. I welcome old friend, Taurean Cavins-Flores, who's bringing Cassavetes to life in the new stage production, 'Independent: John Cassavetes and the Birth of American Independent Filmmaking'. Taurean discuss Cassavetes' pioneering spirit, his background and his approach to filmmaking. The episode delves into the challenges of embodying Cassavetes, the emotional depth of his films, and the production process of the play, resistance to Hollywood studios, his distinct artistic vision, and his intense relationship with his wife, Gena Rowlands. The conversation provides insights into the preparation and dedication required to portray such a complex figure & is a must-listen for anyone interested in fearless storytelling, the struggles and triumphs of indie filmmaking, and the enduring impact of Cassavetes' work.
