Ella

Drama

Synopsis

*Ella*—well, she has a name too—*Luna* (Patricia Garza)—is actually about her much older husband and painter *Alfredo* (Paul Vega), and his choice of actions and reactions after she decides to leave him for a lover that he wasn't aware of. Alfredo has been going through a creative crisis and is under pressure to complete a series of paintings for a forthcoming show. It is nevertheless also plain to see that he’d been treating Luna, who’s also his model, largely as an object of desire and obsession—capturing with a camera her every movement in the house when she’s not posing for him, and memorizing her every physical feature, moles and warts included—he’d apparently counted twenty-seven moles on her body. When Alfredo tracks down and entraps the lover she’d wanted to elope with (Rómulo Assereto), he’ll discover that they both have more in common than merely desiring the same woman.

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.
