Synopsis

Documentary Filmmaker Elliott Most (Richard Chance) is shooting his latest project: a behind-the-scenes look at the life of L.A. actor Ernie Paconio (Scott Vogel). As the shoot unfolds, Elliott begins to despise Ernie for his lack of discipline and unethical lifestyle which consists mostly of partying and chasing women. The mismatched pair soon find themselves at each others' throats when Elliott breaks the cardinal rule of documentary filmmaking by interfering in the life of his subject.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
