Synopsis

Gavin Grey, a Louisiana football star and All-American champion, was celebrated for his achievements on the field and his marriage to Babs Rogers, his high-school sweetheart and homecoming queen. Revered as a hometown hero, Gavin's life took a turn after his professional football career failed to meet expectations, leaving him feeling disconnected from the success and recognition he once had. As he grapples with the reality that he no longer lives up to the hero image others still project onto him, his dissatisfaction begins to strain his marriage and leads him to question his identity beyond being a football star.

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.
