Runtime

Synopsis

The documentary follows the daily routines of several quilters in the sewing room at South Central Correctional Center, a Level 5 maximum-security prison located in a small town approximately two hours south of St. Louis, Missouri. Within this windowless, enclosed space inside the prison, the men work through the process of creating quilts, from initial design to final completion. Through their craft, they express their personal struggles, achievements, and the pride they take in producing something beautiful within the confines of the facility.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
