Synopsis

In the film, reporter Nicolaas Veul decides to set up his first Instagram account with the goal of accumulating as many followers as possible. As he progresses, he becomes increasingly interested in the social network's inner workings and uncovers a well-oiled system built on fraud. While users eagerly give likes to selfies, a thriving business in user accounts operates behind the scenes. There are large numbers of fake profiles, and internet bots are used to generate new followers for those seeking to appear more successful. The film questions whether anything on Instagram can be believed.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
