Runtime

Synopsis

Jessica Sarah Rinland's *Black Pond* is a film that examines the activities on a common land in southern England. Historically associated with the 17th-century agrarian socialists known as The Diggers, the land is now home to a Natural History Society engaged in pursuits such as bat and moth trapping, mycology, tree measuring, and botanical walks. Rinland spent two years filming on the site, after which the footage was shown to the Society's members. Their reflections and responses were recorded and later incorporated into the film's narration. Rather than providing a comprehensive historical account of human presence in the area, *Black Pond* offers a more intimate exploration of the relationship between humans, land, and nature.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
