Indie Film Recommendation - Shades of Ray

Shades of Ray tells the story of Ray (Zachary Levi), a half-white and half-Pakistani American man living in Los Angeles who is presented with the opportunity to find himself while his girlfriend ponders on accepting his marriage proposal.

Shades of Ray is one of those unique feel good films that I feel like are a fantastic reflection of our present multi-ethnic and multicultural society. What makes this film so great, other than the clever writing and nicely-paced character development is simply its honesty and heart.

While at first you may question the casting of this film, rest assured, its one of those unique exemptions where the actors' actual backgrounds become irrelevant. They take a backseat as the director and actors take the finely-honed material and create a sense of believability within the film that you would not question and just accept.


Shades of Ray is smart, funny, and culturally-relevant with a very likable cast of characters. It's a breath of fresh air.
