Synopsis

The film centers on the internal thoughts of a man, an astronaut set to travel to the Moon. As he contemplates the upcoming flight, he expresses regret over having an "ordinary" name that he believes will not leave a lasting mark in history. His reflections lead him to consider key figures in the history of flight—such as Icarus and his wings, the Montgolfier brothers and their balloon, and the Wright brothers and their achievement of heavier-than-air flight.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
