Synopsis

A four-part story is told from the perspective of two children, depicting life in school, in nature, with family, and at home, all unfolding alongside the changing seasons. The Small Town portrays village life and the relationships within a small-town family, particularly through a long centerpiece scene around a campfire where family members discuss the past, life, and its disappointments. Both the brother and sister observe the complexities and darkness of the adult world, as well as the mysteries of nature and wildlife.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
