Synopsis

At a remote Arctic research station, four ecology students uncover a chilling consequence of global warming when a prehistoric parasite is released from the carcass of a Woolly Mammoth. As the students become unwitting hosts to the ancient organism, they are forced into quarantine and must make difficult sacrifices to prevent the parasite from spreading and endangering the rest of the world.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
