The Field
“It Owns Him...It Possesses Him...And It Could Even Destroy Him”
Synopsis
Bull McCabe's family has farmed the same field for generations, making significant sacrifices to maintain their connection to the land. When the widow who owns the field decides to sell it at a public auction, McCabe is determined to secure it. Although no local residents dare to bid against him, a wealthy American arrives, intent on purchasing the field to construct a highway. Bull and his son attempt to persuade the American to abandon his plans and return home, but the consequences of their scheme turn out to be sinister.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 19
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.
