Synopsis

On a fateful night in 1959, four people die in a bus crash. Their souls remain as ghosts, bound eternally to the life of a child, Thomas, who was born at the moment of their deaths and becomes their guardian. As Thomas grows up to become a businessman, he experiences memories of playmates he never met, which he attributes to his imagination. When the ghosts recognize that Thomas must help them to move on to the afterlife, they decide to reveal themselves once more.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 23

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.
