Flexatron: Becoming Shawn Rhoden

Directed by
Documentary

Synopsis

In the highly competitive sport of bodybuilding, Shawn "Flexatron" Rhoden has risen to become one of the best athletes in the world. But his rise to glory didn't begin in the gym. Born on the island of Jamaica, Shawn saw his early life success nearly derailed by death, depression and alcohol. After two failed suicide attempts, Rhoden decided to change his life's path. Through the love and support of his family and dedication to the gym, he returned to the sport and years later, finally won the Mr. Olympia title in 2018. But this is not a story of bodybuilding, but rather a story of how bodybuilding inspired change and saved a life; the life of Shawn Rhoden.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
