Synopsis

This documentary offers a glimpse into the world of independent guerrilla filmmaking, following cult director Lloyd Kaufman as he attempts to bring his latest film, *Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead*, to life. With no investors and no funding, Kaufman assembles a crew of 75 inexperienced teenagers, hires the most affordable director of photography available, and houses the entire team in an abandoned church located in Buffalo's inner city.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
