LEVEL ONE
Each number will be a cut, taken from life, edited as each filmmaker sees fit. No effects can be applied to an individual cut beyond basic color/gamma adjustment or grain. Sound can be discontinuous within the cut, but must be a 'field recording' from life. No music is permitted, unless that music is captured as diegetic sound within the cut (for example the singing of a homeless man on the street, or the noise from a passing car stereo). Some of the films may be single takes. Others may be a montage of rapid, asynchronous elements. In the interests of unity, all contributors will restrict themselves to filming on digital cameras. The 'look' of the film is raw. No scripting, acting, forced lighting or other theatrical device is permitted.

The order in which we will make these films is non-sequential. Individual filmmakers will intially be ascribed a number and proceed to make a clip/scene/montage. Once we have created six films, filmmakers can request a number to make a cut in reference to another. For example, if cut 02.07 is a scene of a window breaking, then X filmmaker may request that they create a cut preceding/following, so as to balance or juxtapose another image/scen
