Synopsis

This experimental film features Gunvor Nelson's daughter, Oona. The sound is composed of Oona repeating the names of the days of the week and saying, “my name is Oona.” This audio is edited into an expressive, rhythmic structure that complements the visual structure of the film, which explores the experience of a child in which both bliss and fear coexist.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
