Runtime

Synopsis

*Father Knows...* is a bittersweet comedy-drama that follows the Love family and the personal estrangements that unfold over 15 years in what appears to be a simple American family. Not so. The story is told from the perspective of Brad, who at the beginning of the film is writing his memoirs, focusing on the love of his life, Ira, their painful breakup, and Ira's turbulent relationship with Brad's parents, particularly his father, who plays a central role in this melodrama. The final revelation is that love is something that cannot be conquered all at once but takes years of patience to be fully realized. *Father Knows...* is a film that takes viewers on a sometimes funny, sometimes heartfelt, but always entertaining journey, which may evoke sweet memories of one's first true love.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
