Synopsis

The premiere of *The Dark Knight Rises* was a major event in Aurora, Colorado. The film's popularity with young moviegoers prompted the city's theater complex to add an extra screening. However, minutes into the film, lone gunman James Holmes, dressed as the Joker, entered the theater and began firing indiscriminately. Twelve people were killed, and many more were injured. This documentary explores the life of Holmes, profiles his victims, and includes interviews with survivors.

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.
