Waiting for Ships

Directed by
Documentary

Synopsis

In a coastal town where not much happens residents pass the time on slot machines and wonder about the flow of container ships and what they might be carrying. It is the biggest container port in Britain, but how much do the local residents know or care about the hundreds of goods shipped in and out everyday? While the port carries on working day and night, the ageing locals spend their time on slot machines and speculate about what the ships might be carrying.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
