An Angel at My Table
“Based on the autobiographies of Janet Frame”
Synopsis
Based on the autobiography of New Zealand writer Janet Frame, this production chronicles the author at different stages of her life. Suffering from mental and emotional difficulties, Frame grows up in a poor family and endures multiple tragedies in her youth, including the deaths of two of her siblings. As an adult, portrayed by Kerry Fox, Frame gains recognition for her writing while still a patient in a mental institution, and her achievements help her progress in life.

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.
