Synopsis

The bear leaves Berlin, frustrated with the city. Along the way, two Russian women, Anna and her daughter Arisha, hire him as a driver. They are joined by a Santa Claus who dislikes Christmas and a Vietnamese family traveling to the sea. Together, they sing "The Weeping Song" by Nick Cave, and they set out to find a buried stone ring on the beach. The film was commissioned by a Japanese car museum, where it was shown with six different scents, using car seats that tilted in corners and shook on cobblestone pavement. This small film helped save a larger one: *Faraway, So Close!* could not have been completed due to financial constraints had this opportunity to make a short film with the same team not arisen. It was through this project that the final week of shooting *Faraway, So Close!* was financed.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
