Ben Folds Five: Live at Sessions at West 54th
Synopsis
On June 9, 1997, Ben Folds Five was one of the first guests to appear on a new series called *Sessions at West 54th*. Due to the show's 30-minute time limit, only a few of the recorded tracks were broadcast. The DVD of the performance includes the full set, which largely features songs from their newly released album *Whatever and Ever Amen*. The DVD also contains *Spare Reels*, a 45-minute film showcasing live performances and footage of the band in a variety of random and varied situations. It also includes clips from Ben Folds Five's studio sessions for their upcoming album, *The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner*.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 3
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.
