World's Largest

A documentary about small towns with big things

Directed by
Runtime
75 min
Documentary

Synopsis

Desperate for tourism, hundreds of small towns across the U.S.A. claim the "world's largest" something, from 15-foot fiberglass strawberries to 40-foot concrete pheasants. World's Largest, a feature documentary, visits 58 such sites. Most prolific among them, Soap Lake, Washington's five-year struggle to build the World's Largest Lava Lamp. By documenting these roadside attractions, World's Largest captures the changing, perhaps even vanishing, culture of small-town America.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
