Following that in 1998, he conceived, wrote and directed (and also had a small acting role in) the first of the Dogme movies, The Celebration (Festen). As per the rules of the Dogme manifesto, he did not take a directorial credit and IMDb has the film listed with no director.

On 1 August 2008 he directed the music video for "The Day That Never Comes", the first single off Metallica's album Death Magnetic.
