Synopsis

In the late 21st century, a subculture of humans has emerged who have been genetically modified by a vampire-like disease, granting them enhanced speed, incredible stamina, and acute intelligence. As they become distinct from "normal" and "healthy" humans, the world is driven toward the brink of a global civil war centered on the eradication of the "diseased" population. At the center of this conflict is Ultraviolet, an infected woman who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy, who has been targeted for death by the human government due to his perceived threat to humanity.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 35

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.0× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
