Synopsis

Jos Stelling, an acknowledged master of the short film without dialogue, received numerous awards for *The Waiting Room* at film festivals in Holland, Russia, and Switzerland. If you found his richly inventive spoof of leering macho culture in *God's Little Acre*, which takes place in the crowded waiting room of a local railway station, to be one of the most outrageous *Erotic Tales* ever made, then prepare for a similarly wild ride through Life's Great Battlefield: the expressway during rush hour. The film captures the boredom of the slow lane, injects it with the spice of one-upmanship, and adds a delightful girl-boy rivalry, culminating in a layover at the next gas station.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

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.
