Synopsis

*Sprinters* is a visually striking and meditative study of a team of athletes, including British Olympic finalists Jeanette Kwakye and Sarah Claxton, filmed over the two months leading up to the start of the 2007 outdoor season. The film offers an intimate and arresting portrayal of the frequently brutal world of top-level athletics, revealing the mental and physical barriers confronted by the runners as they pursue their dreams. It presents a world in which agony, ecstasy, winning, and losing are separated by a hundredth of a second.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
