Synopsis

In this short film, pop artist Kesha offers insight into the creation of her 2017 album *Rainbow*. The film presents an intimate look at her songwriting process and the personal challenges she faced, including depression, insomnia, and an eating disorder. It documents her journey from hospital stays and time in rehabilitation to a performance of “Praying” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards. Kesha explains in the film that the album is titled *Rainbow* because, as she says, “after the storm, there’s a rainbow,” and that she wrote it as a message to herself that she could overcome her struggles. The film features music video clips, live performances, and footage of Kesha working with Ben Folds, the Dap-Kings, and Sandra Williams in the writing and recording process.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
