The Kiss

Synopsis

Bill Gabriel Young (Bashar Shbib), a B-filmmaker with a past, discovers he has some kind of blood cancer. He sets out to do his final film as he spends his last days with his children Tanya, Laila and Amir (Maïa Nadon-Chbib, Camille Fortin-Chbib and Tadzeo Horner-Chbib). He finally tells his three children that, by intuitive feeling, he was going to soon die of this cancer. Before succumbing to death, he is determined to tell them his views on the state of the world, conflicts, people’s irreconcilable differences, and lastly about love. Through the voyage of a kiss, which is what ultimately brings them and life together.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
