Synopsis

In the film, director Jörg Adolph documents the entire process of creating and marketing a novel - from the author's first pages of text to the publisher's advertising strategy. Over a period of 17 months, he accompanied the author John von Düffel and observed his work on the novel "Houwelandt". No step and no stage of the work is spared. You can see the intensive consultations with the editor as well as the meetings with the publisher and the reactions on the competitive book market.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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
