Synopsis

*Vampire Action Adventure* is a film starring Flex Alexander, Bejan Amini, and Angeleito Bautista. Set in ancient Japan, the story follows Shira (played by Jason) and her husband, who are attacked by a group of ninja vampires. Her husband is killed, but Shira survives the attack, though she is turned into a vampire. She is nursed back to health by a kind samurai, who also teaches her the art of combat. The narrative then shifts to present-day America, where Shira discovers the location of the man responsible for her husband's death, Kristoff. She seeks him out, only to learn that he has been searching for her. Kristoff's goal is to impregnate Shira in order to create a race of "daywalking" vampires, of which he would be the ruler.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
