Synopsis

*SALT* is the story of award-winning and internationally renowned photographer Murray Fredericks on his annual solo pilgrimage to the heart of Lake Eyre in the remote north corner of South Australia. It is a film about the personal journey of the artist, the creative process, and the landscape itself. Alone on what is considered the most featureless landscape on earth, Fredericks's personal video diary captures the beauty of this bleak, empty, and desolate environment—and provides the catalyst for an unexpected personal transformation. Told with subtlety, care, and gentle dry humor, *SALT* is the story of what emanates from emptiness. By combining the breathtaking imagery of this surreal landscape with the hauntingly delicate sounds of Aajinta's "Harmonic Spheres," it attempts to identify what lies beneath the surface of our reality and how "something" can be produced from "nothing." *SALT* interweaves Murray's sublime pictures.

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.
