A man rediscovers his inner child in a pile of leaves.

On November 19, 2006, I shot "The Leaves", my entry in IFCO's Fall 2006 16mm Dogme Challenge. I got one roll of 16mm 7222 black and white negative film, a Bolex camera and had 24 hours to make a film within the following constraints:

• You may only use available light.
• You may do only in-camera editing.
• You may not do any post-production work whatsoever (no editing, no sound, no cuts, no dissolves, etc.)
• You must show the following credits at some point in your film:
  1. the words: “Fall 2006 IFCO Dogme Challenge ”;
  2. your name;
  3. the film title.

The Leaves had its first screening at IFCO's Holiday party on December 14, 2006 at the Mercury Lounge.
