Metal Messiah

ComedyDramaMusic

Synopsis

A musical comedy covering three decades in the life of Sage Negadeth, an encyclopedic headbanging hero determined to form the heaviest band of his scene. Everything seems to work out as he forms a thrash band with his best friend and two Nigerian exchange students. When a school counselor threatens institutionalization, the Nigerians are deported and he's still stuck working at a gas station, Sage must choose between making a deal with the Devil or the salvation offered by a mysterious Christian girl. Packed with original Metal music and headbanging humor that may offend just about anyone, 'Metal Messiah' is ultra low budget and yet plenty of eye candy and laughs ensure a fast paced, super fun ride.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
