East 10th Street Making a film with Saul Leiter

In 2009 I wrote to Saul Leiter and suggested I make a film about him. I sent letters, postcards and some of my other work. Eventually he agreed to meet me for coffee.
I turned up at the building on East oth Street and rang his buzzer.
After an impossibly long time, he opened the door and said why do people always want things from me. He turned around and went back inside. It was only when I could hear him laughing to himself and saw him gesturing me in that I dared step inside.
