Synopsis

Amanda, an employee at an upscale clothing store, leads a quiet and uneventful life. Her routine is disrupted when an alien, previously held at a secret military installation, escapes by taking over the body of a base employee. Amanda discovers the fugitive alien and chooses to assist it in evading government agents pursuing it. The task appears manageable, as the alien must switch host bodies every few days. Whether she can successfully help her new companion evade capture remains uncertain.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
