Synopsis

Until now, Isa Kremer has almost been forgotten. This extraordinary documentary recounts her remarkable story through a wealth of archival footage and photos as well as interviews with family members, friends and performing artist peers. The film traces her earliest years in pre-Revolutionary Russia through an eventful personal and professional life in Europe, the United States and South America. This multi-faceted portrait of a complex, passionate woman transcends both borders and time and provides a true lesson about the power of the arts.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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
