Synopsis

In 1991, Flavio Cabobianco published his book “I Come From The Sun”. He was 10 years old and defined himself as a messenger from other planets. The book became a bestseller in Argentina and was translated into six languages, launching a media boom that turned Flavio into a New Age phenomenon. Twenty years later, Flavio decides to re­publish his book and agrees to be part of a documentary about his story. After a year’s shooting, Flavio, unhappy with the pre­established roles of the movie, comes up with the idea of switching roles between himself and the director. If his demand is not met, he will abandon the film. Flavio’s questioning leads to a change in the course of action: “Solar” is no longer a movie about Flavio and his family, but a power battle between director and subject.

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.

Craft leads on file
