Synopsis

In 1955, a medical examiner noted in the report: age, “about 53 years”. Charlie Parker, nicknamed Bird, had just died at 34. His death marked the end of a life that was not spared from excesses or the consuming intensity of his genius. His most daring improvisations paved the way for future jazz musicians. Between shadow and light, this film pays tribute to one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
