Synopsis

The Doors, formed in 1965, became one of America's most iconic and influential rock bands through the creative collaboration of drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Kreiger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and singer Jim Morrison. The band's journey is documented through footage spanning their formation until Morrison's death in 1971, capturing their evolution from the corridors of UCLA's film school—where Manzarek and Morrison first met—to the stages of sold-out arenas.

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.
