Synopsis

Living under the Communist regime in a culturally isolated Eastern European country, four friends join forces, determined to turn their craft into an art. Shears is a documentary film about the founding fathers of contemporary Bulgarian hairdressing. This is the working group K.E.N.T., or Christian Kapanov, Evgeni Petroff, Nedyalko Nedyalkov, and Todor Toshev. In times that are difficult for creative expression, they have to overcome all kinds of challenges in order to practice and perfect their profession in restrictive and closed-off Communist Bulgaria.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
