Synopsis

Paul Aufiero, a 35-year-old parking-garage attendant from Staten Island, describes himself as the "world's biggest New York Giants fan." One night, Paul and his best friend Sal see Giants star linebacker Quantrell Bishop at a gas station and decide to follow him. At a strip club, Paul cautiously approaches Bishop, but the chance encounter leads to a dramatic turn that upends Paul's life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.

Box Office

2009 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.9× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
