Synopsis

Broughton explores the medium's ability to manipulate time and space, bringing past and present into direct confrontation as he reflects on his childhood family and friends with adult emotions. In the film, adults behave like children, and through their exaggerated infantilism, they playfully highlight fundamental traits such as sadism, sensuality, and egocentricity. (Melbourne International Film Festival)

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
