Synopsis

Gregory Kingsley is a boy who was abandoned by his natural mother and subjected to abuse by his father, leading him to be placed in the care of social services. He is then placed with the Russes, a foster family that provides him with the stable and loving environment he needs. Determined to remain with them and avoid being returned to his harmful home situation, Gregory takes legal action by suing his natural mother to have her parental rights terminated, so that he can be formally adopted by the Russes. The story is based on the true case of a boy who went through the same process in real life to secure a safe and permanent home.

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.
