Langston Hughes African American Film Festival 2008

Seattle Premiere - A story-board artist/sci-fi junkie, Jay Brooks is the only Black guy in his indie-rock social scene. After a string of failed relationships, all with white women, Jay decides to begin “Operation Brown Sugar” by giving up White women cold-turkey and trying to find himself a Black girlfriend. Since he doesn’t fit the “brotha” stereotype Jay fails miserably with the “sistahs.” When Jay meets Catherine, a misunderstood “halfrican-Canadian” and newly published author, Jay challenges Catherine to face her fear of publicly reading her work and realizes his own fears of commitment have had more to do with his previous disastrous relationships than any racial incompatibilities. Filled with lots of laughs and clever insights, THE INEVITABLE UNDOING OF JAY BROOKS looks at what we’ll go through to find love and what we sometimes do to get out of it.
