Synopsis

Eighteen-year-old Angelina moves between school, a dead-end job, her abusive boyfriend, and home, where she spends her time cleaning up after her alcoholic mother and shielding her younger sister from their threatening stepfather. After planning an escape to San Francisco with her best friend Andrew, she soon begins dating a cocaine-addicted lawyer and becomes involved in the local porn industry, where she is mentored by lesbian director Margaret, who shows more than just professional interest in Angelina.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.0× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
