Synopsis

*The Thirsting* is a derivation of the Lilith myths taken from biblical texts. The story centers on Sister Katherine, a nun who fled to the church seeking comfort from memories of ritualistic abuse as a child, in an effort to voluntarily host the spirit of Lilith—Adam’s first wife and the mother of all demons. While supervising a senior college retreat, her students—Mary, Clareese, Michelle, Jackie, and Tiffany—are given an assignment to research various pagan beliefs and compare them to Catholic figures. Despite the efforts of three Arch-Angels—Senoi, Sansenoi, and Sammangelof—to warn the girls not to toy with the occult, they proceed to do so. When the girls accidentally summon Lilith, chaos ensues. Lilith attacks them in their dreams, attempting to consume their souls by turning their secret desires and memories into deadly nightmares, as she distorts their dreamworld into a deadly reality.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
