Begin Again
A disgraced music executive desperate to revive his career bets everything on a raw British songwriter whose talent could launch him back to the top—if he can win her trust before his personal demons and industry rivals destroy both their futures.
“You're only as strong as your next move.”
Synopsis
Gretta, an aspiring songwriter, becomes isolated after her boyfriend, Dave, leaves her. Her life takes a new direction when Dan, a record label executive, recognizes her talent.

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.
