Runtime

Synopsis

Fogo is a windswept island located off the coast of Newfoundland, where the residents have traditionally lived by, on, and from the sea. In the film, William Wells, a fisherman, and his two sons take a break from their usual work with the nets to embark on a journey to the gannet colony on the Funk Islands, which lie fifty miles further out to sea. The film features exceptional close-up views of large flocks of seabirds swarming on the cliffs and in the sky.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
