Synopsis

Completed shortly after *Morning*, *Wait* is a vivid depiction of the cinematic process of recording images on film. From frame to frame, the work offers a sense of film emulsion coming to life and responding to the forces of light. In addition, shifting camera positions, panning, tilting, using the zoom, framing, and focusing are all part of the work. A sculpturing of a space from frame to frame on a surface where there is no space. The title, *Wait*..., is asking the viewer to forgo their conditioned focus on the photographic image as a representation of a life situation, and instead, focus on the visual kinetic here and now. Physical therapy for the eyes, and delight for the senses." — Ernie Gehr

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
