Synopsis

The story of William Putch and his life's work: The Totem Pole Playhouse. A summer theater inconspicuously tucked away in the blue mountains of south central Penna. With a career span of over 30 years and more than 300 productions, Putch brought the experience and culture of professional theater to a rural community known mostly for its farmland.

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.
