Synopsis

This humorous short animation was written and created by Tali and is inspired by the filmmaker's experiences as a school bus driver in the Eastern Townships. The protagonist dreams of becoming a bus driver to travel along quiet country roads and connect with nature, her young passengers, and their parents. However, her idealized view of the job is quickly challenged when she meets her grumpy boss, named Killer, and learns that winding roads can be dangerous in winter, especially with a faulty clutch. Through its playful humor and subtle portrayal of life in the Quebec countryside, Tali presents a film that is distinctive, clever, and heartfelt.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
