Directed by
Runtime
60 min

Synopsis

"How do you know if it's love? Can you fall in love more than once? Is love blind? Can you love more than one person at a time? How important is sex to a relationship? Does love happen at first sight? Is sex love? Can you confuse chemistry with love? Is sex the real turn-on, or is intimacy? Now, for the first time, on an original videocassette made especially for you and other teenagers your age, you'll find the answers to these questions. With the help of Justine Bateman from TV's *Family Ties*, Jason Bateman from *Valerie*, Ted Danson from *Cheers*, and a cast of real-life teenagers from University High School in Los Angeles. With song. With dance. With pizzazz. With advice from Dr. Sol Gordon, America's foremost expert in family and sex education. How can you tell if you're really in love? Easy. Watch this video and find out."

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
