Pie in the Sky

Runtime
22 min
Comedy

Synopsis

At a skid row mission, a cleric delivers a sermon to a group of men waiting to eat. Afterward, he brings out a pie and divides it into small slices. Two men at the end of the line receive none. They leave the mission and make their way to a garbage dump, where discarded junk becomes props for their play. A dress form becomes Mae West; a rusted car provides them with a wild ride. One of them then dresses as a priest and promises "pie in the sky." By the end, they wear metal halos.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
