Runtime

Documentary

Synopsis

The first talkie was directed by Alice Guy, and the first color film was produced by Lois Weber, who directed more than 300 films over a 10-year period. Frances Marion wrote screenplays for Hollywood star Mary Pickford and won two Oscars. Dorothy Arzner was the most powerful film director in Hollywood at the time. What these individuals have in common is that they are all women who have largely been forgotten. It was not until 2010 that the first woman, Kathryn Bigelow, won the Oscar for Best Director. Despite being underrepresented, women have always played a significant role in Hollywood, and it is this overlooked chapter of film history that this documentary aims to uncover.

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.
