Homework Feature Film, 2004 Kevin Asher Green, Director (my role: editor and additional photography) The story is that of Sara, a young ballet dancer played by the pouty Paz de la Huerta (The Cider House Rules), who is wafting between boredom and the pursuit of perfection in her upper crust life. Snugly fit between a chess-addicted pseudo-intellectual boyfriend, bulimia and constrained classical dancers, her life seems void of sensuality and inspiration. That is, until she meets her match in Jean (Isaach De Bankolé), a West African plumber from the opposite side of town who has been called upon to fix her bathroom sink. He tells her that he too is a dancer, and before you know it, Sara is dumping multiple bottles of Drano into the pipes to provoke return visits to her New York Apartment with "three bathrooms for four people". Jean, it turns out, is an instructor in a dance studio in the same building as Sara's ballet class and he captures her attention through his natural simplicity and by the freedom of his movements. It is Sara's shipwrecked curiosity that ultimately prevails and explodes into a new awakening of her emotional and sexual world.
