Where or When
“Some things that happened for the first time seem to be happenin' again”
Synopsis
"Where or When" is a 2003 film by Iranian film director Bahman Pour-Azar. He co-wrote the film script with Jun Kim over seven years, but shot the entire movie in less than a week at various locations in both New York and New Jersey. It stars Mitchell Conwell, Shelly DeChristofaro, Jun Kim, and Carl Monego. The film was produced for less than US$50,000. The 85-minute feature was inspired by the 1959 French classic "Hiroshima Mon Amour" directed by Alain Resnais, and contains the classic show tune "Where Or When" from the 1937 Rodgers and Hart musical "Babes In Arms".

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 16
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.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
