Synopsis

A young individual, possessing notable talent, creates a remarkable fluid that, when applied to a mirror, brings his reflection to life. By using a small amount of the substance on the mirror in his room, he causes his image to emerge from the surface and mimic his movements precisely. The double vanishes the moment the fluid is wiped away. Later, when a servant enters the room, the youth again applies the fluid to the mirror, and the reflection once more steps out and performs actions, which frighten the servant intensely. The fluid's creator then takes the mirror with him and proceeds to the street.

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.
