Synopsis

In director Juwan Chung's debut feature, three small-time marijuana dealers find their American dream unraveling when they anger the Mexican mafia. Kash (Archie Howard II), Shane (Chung), and Bones (Ben Baller)—life-long friends turned petty drug dealers—initially enjoy success until their trusted driver is arrested during a routine trip to Ohio. In an attempt to recover their losses, the inexperienced trio shifts to selling cocaine, quickly realizing they have ventured into dangerous territory. As the Mexican mafia closes in, Kash is arrested, leaving Shane and Bones to navigate the escalating threats on their own. As the situation spirals, survival instincts drive the friends to turn on one another, testing their loyalties and breaking the bonds they once thought unshakable.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
