Please Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours
Synopsis
An intimate two-hour documentary of Nightwish’s inner workings, included in their upcoming *Showtime, Storytime* DVD, explores what happens when persistence and desire drive the pursuit of dreams. Directed by Ville Lipiäinen (known for work with 30 Seconds To Mars and HIM), the film was shot with seventeen cameras at the Wacken Open Air Festival in front of 85,000 fans. The 110-minute live performance by Finland’s most beloved rock band was the first of three final shows of Nightwish’s 2013 “Imaginaerum World Tour,” which featured 104 concerts across 34 countries and attracted a total audience of over 1.5 million fans worldwide.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 11
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.
