Synopsis

Two young people in love—one a graffiti artist and the other a foster child—face challenges on the rough streets of New York City beyond the river. Officer Charles Banks discovers Danny tagging subway cars and later catches Teiresa selling drugs for another troubled teen, Kirk. Rather than reporting them, the officer offers both teens an opportunity to improve their lives together. However, changing their ways proves to be more difficult than initially anticipated.

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.
