Bully

It's time to take a stand.

Synopsis

This year, over 5 million American children will experience bullying at school, online, on the bus, at home, through their cell phones, and on the streets of their towns, making it the most common form of violence among young people in the United States. *The Bully Project* is the first feature documentary film to explore how bullying has affected all of us, whether as victims, perpetrators, or silent witnesses. The world we inhabit as adults begins on the playground. *The Bully Project* opens on the first day of school. For the more than 5 million children who will be bullied this year in the United States, it is a day filled with more anxiety and foreboding than excitement. As the sun rises and school buses across the country carry backpacks, brass instruments, and the rambunctious sounds of raging hormones, it is a journey into the unknown.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.

Made its money back — grossed 3.2× 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).
