Synopsis

Sunspring is a short film depicting three individuals living in a strange, futuristic setting, possibly aboard a space station, and likely involved in a love triangle. The setting is suggested to be the future through visual and narrative cues, including H (played by Thomas Middleditch of *Silicon Valley*), who wears a shiny gold jacket and exhibits neurotic behavior; H2 (Elisabeth Gray), who interacts with computers; and C (Humphrey Ker), who declares he must "go to the skull" before placing his face into a series of green lights. The film resembles a typical sci-fi B-movie, with an incoherent plot. However, it was not written by human screenwriters but entirely by an artificial intelligence. Specifically, it was authored by a recurrent neural network known as a long short-term memory network, or LSTM. The AI referred to itself as Benjamin.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
