Watermelon Woman
Cheryl works in a video shop, earns extra by filming weddings, resists match-making attempts and writhes with desire to make a documentary about her idol, the Watermelon Woman. This is how a beautiful, unknown actress appears in the credits of silent Hollywood films. Research shows that the actress probably had an affair with her white, female director. Due to her work in the shop Cheryl meets beautiful Diana (Guinevere Turner), who is not only rich, but also white. Crisp, funny, classic piece about racial and social hierarchies in the film industry and life is the debut of the director of OWLS.
