Five Feet Apart
A rebellious teen with cystic fibrosis fights hospital protocols that force her and a charismatic fellow patient to stay five feet apart, risking their fragile health for a chance at love.
“When life keeps you apart, fight for every inch.”
Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Stella, who has cystic fibrosis, spends much of her time in the hospital, adhering to a strict routine of medical care and personal discipline. Her life is marked by structure and limitations, which are challenged when she meets Will, a similarly ill teenager with an irresistible charm. The two form an immediate bond, but hospital guidelines require them to keep a physical distance. As their relationship deepens, they face increasing temptation to defy the rules and give in to their growing attraction.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 38
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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 13× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
