But I'm a Cheerleader

Synopsis

Megan is a typical all-American girl, a cheerleader with a boyfriend. However, she is not particularly fond of kissing her boyfriend and tends to be emotionally distant with her cheerleading peers. Concerned about her behavior, her conservative parents suspect she may be a lesbian and enroll her in a "sexual redirection" school. At the school, she is placed with other individuals identified as lesbian or gay, where they are required to undergo training aimed at helping them adopt heterosexual orientations.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
