Velvet Buzzsaw
A cut‑throat art dealer must survive a deadly supernatural backlash when a series of coveted paintings turn lethal, forcing her to outwit greedy collectors before the cursed works destroy them all.
“All Art Is Dangerous”
Synopsis
When art intersects with commerce, the consequences can be severe for those driven by greed. A set of paintings by an unknown artist comes to light, and a supernatural force begins to exact vengeance on the wealthy collectors and powerful art figures whose avarice has overshadowed their appreciation for art.

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.
