Chamber Six Media presents LEAF MAN, a short film written and directed by Kevin Ackley.

Leaf Man is a metaphysical monster movie following a man's odyssey through a world of perspective-shifting existential transformations. With momentum from a powerful shoegaze score, this wordless short film uses surreal and strange dual-roled characters to dance through the boundary between ourselves, our surroundings, and each other, in the search for a meaningful life.
