Accidents Waiting to Happen
Synopsis
Accidents Waiting To Happen: The 12 Rods Story is a documentary made by James Francis Flynn about the seminal Minneapolis band 12 Rods. 12 Rods began auspiciously in Oxford, Ohio in 1992 and ended in Minneapolis in 2004. Their EP Gay? ('96) received a perfect rating from Pitchfork. From there, the band signed with V2 records, and made the albums Split Personalities ('98) and Separation Anxieties ('00), which was produced by Todd Rundgren. Accidents Waiting To Happen charts the band’s history, with candid interviews of band members, critics, fans, and others involved with the band, alongside never-before-seen archival material. Inspired by Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz, the film weaves 12 Rods’ history with footage from their January 2015 reunion show. Fans of Minneapolis’ 90s rock scene can’t miss this exciting documentary.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 2
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
