Dirty Little Secret

How far would they go to hide the truth?

Runtime
85 min
DramaTV Movie

Synopsis

Lucy, a 17-year-old girl, has been isolated from her peers for years, refusing to let anyone into her home to conceal her family's secret—the overwhelming accumulation of items that fills every corner of their house. While quietly planning her escape to college, she also manages her mother Joanna's hoarding disorder. On the surface, Joanna appears to be a highly functioning nurse, but she tightly controls the dysfunction at home with obsessive behavior. After a tragedy occurs, Lucy must decide whether to keep her mother's secret or reveal it to the world.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
