John Cassavetes 

Arguably the father of Independent Filmmaking, John Cassavetes is one of the best directors ever. Known for his uncompromising, deep character studies, long winded and revealing dialogue, a hand held documentary style, and gritty realism, Cassavetes is still one of the most relevant and thoughtful Directors to ever live.

Also acted in many more mainstream films, such as Rosemary's Baby and The Dirty Dozen. His great acting roles sometimes overshadow his amazing job as a Director, and his movies are something that need to be explored even more.

His movies do not necessarily leave you breathless like a great Spielberg film, but they explore man's insecurities, there delusions, there behavior, and above all, their weaknesses and how you, as the viewer, can learn from them and truly make your life better. Cassavetes work takes multiple viewing to understand, but once you do, you're life will change for the better.

Whether or not he's an actor or a Director, he was a truly thoughtful and insightful artist, who's work has been foreshadowed for far too long. Forget Psychoanalysis. Want to examine your own life and enlighten yourself a better way? Cassavetes is your answer.
"As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail."
-John Cassavetes

Cassavetes films include Shadows (1959), Faces (1968),

calaveras county 

Calaveras County

Rural county located in the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It has lots of beautiful scenery but is unfortunately inhabited with many ignorant people. A great place to enjoy peace and nature. Not so great of a social scene. All in all, it's a nice place to visit.

cassavettes 

cassavettes is the incorrect spelling of the word cassavetes, stupid people might type cassavettes in looking to find the independent film director, John Cassavetes. OR they might be trying to search for the Le Tigre song Cassavetes, which is about John Cassavetes.
1) Why are no results coming up for my favorite Le Tigre song when I type in cassavettes?!?!?
