Synopsis

Set during the final days of the school year, the film offers a glimpse into the life of a one-room schoolhouse, a type of educational institution that has largely disappeared from the modern landscape, though it still exists in Amish communities and similar settings. The story presents a child-focused perspective, highlighting the performances of various musical skills by young students, many of whom were likely encouraged by their parents to learn the instruments they play.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
