Mother of Tears
“What you see does not exist. What you cannot see is truth.”
Synopsis
An ancient urn is discovered in a cemetery outside Rome. Upon being opened, it sets off a series of violent incidents: robberies, rapes, and murders increase dramatically, while several mysterious, evil-looking young women from around the world begin gathering in the city. These events are the result of the return of Mater Lacrimarum, the last of three powerful witches who have been causing terror and death for centuries. Alone against an army of psychos and demons, Sarah Mandy, an art student who appears to possess supernatural abilities of her own, is the only person left to stop the Mother of Tears from destroying Rome.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 22
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.
