Synopsis

A man stands by the side of a motorway, holding a tow rope and waiting for a vehicle to tow him. Numerous cars pass by without stopping until the driver of a small, run-down car stops and offers assistance. The rope is connected to the car, but the other end is tied to a pothole in the road. Hidden inside the pothole is an unexpected surprise.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
