Synopsis

A revisionist take on *Cinderella* featuring an all-black cast and set in Harlem during World War II. Cindy, a country girl from South Carolina, moves to live with her father and his new family. When her stepmother and two stepsisters refuse to take her to the Sugar Hill Ball, her draft-dodging chauffeur neighbor uses a bit of "magic" to help her attend, where she captures the attention of Harlem's wealthiest man.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
