Synopsis

Carter DeHaven announces that he will perform a series of "impressions." For each, viewers see him applying makeup and adjusting his hair or putting on a wig. When he tilts his head down during each transformation, the actual celebrity he is impersonating—Keaton, Lloyd, Arbuckle, Valentino, Fairbanks, or Coogan—appears on screen, as if he has successfully transformed into them.

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.
