Action comedy screenwriter
Ed Solomon switches gears to
psychological drama for his feature film directing debut,
Levity.
Manual Jordan (
Billy Bob Thornton) gets released after doing 23 years in prison for accidentally killing a kid during an attempted robbery. Not having any place to go as a free man, he returns to the town where he committed the crime in hopes of seeking salvation. He ends up in a community center where he meets pastor
Miles Evans (
Morgan Freeman), who helps him out with practical matters like work, food, and housing. Trying to find redemption for his sins, he befriends
Adele Easely (
Holly Hunter), a single mother who just happens to be the sister of the boy he shot in the robbery. He also meets teenaged
Sofia Mellinger (
Kirsten Dunst), a rich girl with a drug problem. Still attempting to reconcile with his past,
Manual seems drawn to interfere when
Adele's son
Abner seems headed down a criminal path.
Levity premiered at the
2003 Sundance Film Festival.
