Synopsis

A creation myth expressed through light, overlapping images, rapid editing, and silence. It begins with a black screen, followed by streaks of light and an eruption of color, squiggles, and chance occurrences. Then, images of small circles appear, followed by those of the Sun. Depictions of Earth emerge—forests, a section of a body, perhaps a nude woman in the act of giving birth. The imagery suggests movement through time. It is part of the *Dog Star Man* series of experimental films.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
