Synopsis

This is a faithful dramatization of Virginia Woolf's novel. A lecturer, his family, the spinster Aunt Lily, an old friend, and a student named Charles Tansley spend a summer in an isolated house in Cornwall just before the outbreak of World War I. The stern Mr. Ramsay frequently criticizes everyone around him, while Mrs. Ramsay serves as the emotional center that holds the family together. Aunt Lily spends her time painting, and the family often discusses sailing to the lighthouse, though the trip is continually delayed.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
