Synopsis

Set in a near-future Berlin, a clandestine meeting unfolds between a board member of the powerful internet company "Freemee" and government officials. Unauthorized camera drones capture the event and broadcast it live online. The anonymous net activist group "Zero" publicly claims responsibility for the media attack. Online journalist Cynthia Bonsant, a widow and single mother, is tasked by the editor-in-chief of the online magazine "Daily" to conduct background research on "Zero." Although the group is officially labeled a terrorist organization, they claim to oppose the excessive societal control exerted by the "Act App," a tool that regulates users' lives. When a friend of Cynthia's 17-year-old daughter Viola is killed during a police pursuit of a criminal, "Zero" reaches out to Cynthia, attempting to recruit her. Meanwhile, Cynthia develops troubling suspicions during her investigation, as she discovers that a new version of the app is about to be released, one that could drastically alter the status quo.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
