Synopsis

John Stitt and Max Cameron are two boys who are deeply passionate about the card game "Battle Day Zero." After a wild storm and the discovery of a mysterious booster pack, they are able to summon Hiro, one of the game's characters, into their world. Eager to keep their secret, the boys bring Hiro to school, where he is mistaken for a Japanese exchange student. However, the open portal allows more characters and monsters from Hiro's world to enter Earth, causing chaos in their small town. Determined to restore normalcy, the boys plan to send Hiro back, though not before the school dance is taken over by "Battle Day Zero" characters.

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.
