Synopsis

"American Blackout" is a 90-minute docu-drama that explores the real-world implications of a cyber attack on the United States power grid. The film presents a gritty, detailed look at the potential consequences of such an event, raising the question of what society would do when the lights go out. It suggests that the doomsday preppers may have been right to prepare, as hacking into urban infrastructures is no longer science fiction but a daily news reality.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
