Synopsis

Every day, we send each other 7 billion emoji worldwide. Although we can no longer imagine our everyday communications without those colourful little icons, we don't know all that much about the Unicode Emoji Committee, the committee - consisting of representatives of large tech companies, such as Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft - in California, which decides what emoji are, or are not, included in our keyboards. Backlight got a foot in the door. What does the future of our communication look like?

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.
