Synopsis

The lives of students at a high school take on surreal dimensions as they navigate the pressures of a distorted society. A senior who married at a young age struggles to balance her personal life, relationships, and search for self-identity and femininity within a world marked by narcissism and misogyny. Gwen Adams, her husband Holden, and her school rival Hilary form a central love triangle, while Principal Mann exacerbates the challenges they face.

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.
