Synopsis

London artist John Smith uses light-hearted humor to explore theoretical concerns. For instance, *Gargantuan* is both pleasantly silly and acutely conscious of how imagery depends entirely on its framing. A voice-over intones the words "huge" and "strapping" as a lizard almost fills the screen, then "medium" as the camera zooms out, then "tiny," and finally "minute," a pun on the film's running time. (Fred Camper, *Chicago Reader*, 2001)

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.
