Synopsis

At 38, film director Victoria Mapplebeck found herself single, pregnant, and broke. Filmed over 20 years, Victoria explores a life where she and her son Jim, survive two generations of absent fathers, her breast cancer diagnosis and Jim’s rollercoaster teen years. She first began documenting their lives with her old DVCAM before shooting on five generations of smartphones. Victoria recorded hundreds of hours of footage, capturing each twist and turn in Jim’s life, from the thumbs- up he gave her during her first scan, to his first day at college. Motherboard documents a lifetime of parenting, capturing the comedy and drama of solo motherhood in all its unfiltered glory

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
