Synopsis

Death is training his son in the art and responsibilities of the family business. His son performs well until he is sent out alone to claim an accident victim. Instead, he is approached by a friend of the dying man and asked to assist with CPR. Taken aback, he agrees, the dying man is resuscitated, and Death's son falls out of favor with his father. Enraged, Death gives his son 24 hours to deliver a corpse, so the young man sets out to kill the man who had asked him for help earlier that day. Junior's target is a young actor named Tom, who is going through opening night and is loved by Sarah, a rather histrionic young woman. A near-death experience awaits them all as Junior comes of age.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
