Just before Christmas, bestselling author Rachel Kennedy returns to her hometown to host an event for her upcoming book.

As a growing bond forms between Rachel and Jack, she struggles with the pull between their relationship and the career pressures from her manager, Stuart. As the event nears, Joy reveals a secret from her past that significantly affects Jack, forcing Rachel to find a message that brings lasting joy to both her fans and herself.

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.
