Synopsis

Nora is a single mother who raises two teenage daughters, Shade and Trudi, while working as a waitress at a truck‑stop diner in a small New Mexico town.

Their lives change dramatically when Trudi becomes pregnant and the girls’ absent father returns.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
