David and Lisa

An unusual love story!

Drama

Synopsis

David Clemens, a teenager, becomes gripped by an irrational fear that physical contact with another person will lead to his death. Concerned, his overbearing mother sends him to a residential facility for young people with mental health issues. At the home, David remains isolated from both his fellow patients and his psychiatrist. Gradually, however, he becomes drawn to 15-year-old Lisa, who experiences multiple personality disorder—one personality speaks exclusively in rhyme, while the other is mute.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
