Synopsis

Angela Hartlin, a 24 year old student and advocate from Dartmouth, NS, Canada, who suffers from Dermatillomania (aka, Excoriation Disorder) invites us into her world for an intimate portrait of her daily struggles as she deals with this chronic condition that has been a part of her life for over a decade. Many individuals with this condition live with it in isolation and shame, and the honesty and courage with which Angela speaks about living with this silent and misunderstood disorder is moving as she exposes how deep Dermatillomania can affect an individual’s quality of life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
