Synopsis

Based on the cult classic book of the same name by Josh Alan Friedman, *Tales of Times Square* combines 16 mm footage and grainy Super 8 with original 35 mm photography by porn star Annie Sprinkle to depict Times Square's seedy past, the sex industries that flourished there, and those at risk of being eliminated by efforts to "sanitize the square." The film explores the neighborhood's past, present, and future during the peak of its notoriety.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
