Synopsis

An ode to New York's East Vilage community gardens as told by three men who, amid their own personal struggles, manage to give life to these small, rare patches of fertile ground: Adam, a radical who makes earth from his own waste; Normand, who has his last summer in the garden before dying of AIDS; and Pablo, a squatter who tends his garden while facing eviction.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
