Synopsis

Varmints, a 24-minute film adapted and directed by Marc Craste, is based on the award-winning book of the same name by Helen Ward and illustrated by Craste. The film follows a small creature's struggle to preserve a world threatened by recklessness and indifference. A crew of 35 people worked across three countries over a two-year period to create the film. It features an original score by Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson and sound design by Adrian Rhodes.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
