Synopsis

This lyrical documentary records the passing of time in a tiny town nestled in the badlands of South Dakota, a place where sweeping natural events and daily activities converge in moments of profound beauty. Whether wind turbines dwarfed by the surrounding plains or an outcropping of tract houses, poignant images capture the community's enduring spirit, while old-timers such as resident psychic Donna and cowboy soldier Ed share their memories.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
