Synopsis

Brittany Forgler is a lively and sociable person who often puts others before herself. Her lifestyle, characterized by frequent partying, lack of stable employment, and unhealthy relationships, is beginning to take a toll. A visit to the doctor serves as a sobering wake-up call, revealing the extent of her poor health. Determined to lose weight but unable to afford a gym membership and unwilling to ask for assistance, Brittany struggles to find a solution. Her neighbor encourages her to run a single block, which sparks an unexpected idea: she sets her sights on participating in the New York City Marathon.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
