The film depicts the controversial wedding of a Black man and a white woman, officiated by a Ku Klux Klansman. It is John Waters' first film, shot on 8mm film. The movie was shown only once, recouping its budget of thirty dollars, after which it was stored in Waters' closet.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.

Craft leads on file
