Synopsis

Uncle Al recounts to his niece Esme the story of how he once discovered a magical tree capable of bringing his drawings and sketches to life. The tree is tended by Grey, who, along with the living sketches, offers Al comfort amid the chaos of his household. Esme's curiosity continues where young Al's story left off, as she uncovers the beauty within his imagination.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
