Synopsis

Best of Trades finds two amateur private investigators on the case of a missing heirloom from a very powerful son of a once thriving oil family in Houston: Walter Doyle. Miles, being a straight-laced, by the book P.I., is resistant to his partner Jakoby, who is a reckless ex-con with a more seasoned approach to the business. While his methods are unconventional, they prove to compliment Miles, as they are thrust into a criminal underbelly that none of them can see coming.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
