Blurring Man

Directed by
Documentary

Synopsis

El Salvadorian day laborer Elmer survives a harrowing journey across the Sonoran desert into the United States to seek a safer life, and soon finds himself on an entirely different desert trek: that of the affluent millennial on their journey to self-actualization at legendary experience festival Burning Man. On their joint adventure, filmmaker Matthew Boman aka dadass and Elmer unintentionally peel back the enforced ""good vibes only"" rhetoric about Burning Man and tread into violent backlash from the event's organizers. Both men share in struggles and questions over freedom, happiness and the legality of living and working in modern-day America.

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.
