Synopsis

The sea, both tranquil and violent, serves as the ultimate symbol in Jerry Abrams' *EYETOON* and is equated with the act of making love, a central theme of the short and visually striking film. Abrams juxtaposes the hurried faces of New York City and the relentless motion of a highway with the serene union of bodies in a sequence reminiscent of Gjon Mili's stroboscopic photography. Throughout, an underlying and emotionally charged maelstrom, rendered through visual techniques like double exposure, interacts with the imagery of the human form. The film is described as visually beautiful, technically excellent, and difficult to overlook, with graphic sexual content presented in a concise manner. — John L. Wasserman, *San Francisco Chronicle*

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
