Synopsis

Burning Souls is a story set during one of the darkest periods in German history, an era marked by widespread belief in occult forces. In the city of Bamberg, witch hunts were driven by a greedy and delusional Bishop Prince, reaching their peak around 1630. This ruler used the witch trials to eliminate political enemies and seize their possessions. Nearly 1,000 innocent men, women, and children became victims. The film portrays the era through the eyes of Johanna Wolff, the daughter of a pharmacist, and the young physician Cornelius Weinmann. To save the innocent, he and a few courageous men rise up against the Bishop Prince.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
