Naomi starred opposite James Earl Jones, Ellen Burstyn, Richard Thomas and Kevin Kilner in Timepiece, a drama about an old clockmaker who faces racism and is tried for murder. The film is set in the 1940s, and despite the serious nature of the plot, the mood was light on the set as Naomi was filming a Christmas scene and enthusiastically reminiscing about her own family's holiday traditions.
