Synopsis

Tim Jenison, an inventor based in Texas, attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries in art: how Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer achieved such photorealistic detail 150 years before the invention of photography. Over the course of a decade, Jenison's journey takes him to Holland, on a pilgrimage to the North coast of Yorkshire to meet artist David Hockney, and eventually to Buckingham Palace. The extensive research project Jenison undertakes proves to be as remarkable as the discoveries he makes.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
