Synopsis

The ducks and chickens from the neighboring property gaze longingly at the Captain's garden through a fence in need of repair. The Captain, holding a board as a makeshift weapon, keeps watch over the garden but does not attempt to mend the fence. He eventually falls asleep, and the poultry seize the opportunity to invade, systematically devouring the produce. When the Captain awakens and chases after them, the birds trap him inside a shed. He escapes and retrieves his shotgun, which causes the poultry to flee, dropping the stolen vegetables. However, when the Captain sets the gun aside to gather the veggies, the birds return, snatching the food back from him.

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.
