Synopsis

A young graduate student named Jane Chase takes a position as assistant to an eccentric zoology professor who lives in a remote house with two intelligent chimpanzees and an elderly orangutan butler called Link. After one of the chimps is discovered dead and the professor vanishes under mysterious circumstances, Link turns dangerously aggressive toward Jane, signaling that the period of “monkey business” has ended and a genuine threat is about to commence.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
