Synopsis

There's a sexual revolution happening on a former goat ranch in the middle of the Mojave Desert, and an eighty-year-old woman is behind it. Funded by Dixie Evans' social security checks, the Exotic World Museum is a Mojave Desert haven for burlesque legends of the 19040s to 1960s, and ground zero of the latest burlesque revival. But as Dixie's health declines, County regulators threaten the operation, and the desert assails the museum's aging collection of 8x10 portraits, hand-sewn costumes and memorabilia, will Exotic World survive?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
