Chronicles of Shpongle

FantasyHorror

Synopsis

Chronicles of Shpongle is a multi-narrative episodic ensemble film that centers on a forgotten mythological underworld hidden behind closed doors in contemporary New York City. The inhabitants of this archaic society are religious harvesters of a fungus called "Shpongle" which is consumed through many forms and connects its users to a fantastical world of which they are both the builders and hosts. We follow these wayward characters out of their respective "hives" and into this strange realm; a fantasy world disclosed in a series of elaborate (and increasingly horrifying) fairy-tale narratives. Between these two realms, we witness the recurrent seeding, harvesting, and extraction of Shpongle, which simultaneously powers and strangles the city.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
