Runtime

Synopsis

The Cistercian monks of Austria are men who rise at 4:30 a.m., pray for more than four hours a day, and have devoted their lives to religious service. They are also musicians who have gained international recognition. This documentary provides a look into the daily life of the monks at Stift Heiligenkreuz Abbey, whose recordings of Gregorian chants have achieved commercial success and charted on music charts.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
