Synopsis

In the film, dancers are depicted in photographic negative as they perform a sequence of ballet movements, including solos, pas de deux, and group formations. They move gracefully and weightlessly, gliding and rotating in defiance of gravity, set against a slowly shifting starfield background. Their choreography is accompanied by music composed for a small ensemble featuring woodwind and percussion instruments.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
