Synopsis

Samadhi is a work that combines elements of mysticism and mystery, integrating movement, sound, and color. Belson has noted that his study and practice of Yoga and Tibetan Buddhism influenced the creation of the film. Inspired by the principles of yogic meditation, the film explores the movement of consciousness toward samadhi—the union of subject and object—and the fusion of atma (breath and mind), a state that reveals the divine force of kundalini, represented as a bright white light at the conclusion of the film. The Tibetan Book of the Dead serves as the inspiration for Belson’s use of color in Samadhi, reflecting the descriptions of the elements of Earth, Fire, Air, and Water in the text. —Sophie Pinchetti, The Third Eye

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
