Hustle
A jaded NBA scout must balance his crumbling family life with a high‑stakes quest for the league’s next phenom after a sudden promotion is ripped away, sending him overseas to chase an undiscovered talent before his career—and his marriage—vanish.
“Never quit on your dreams.”
Synopsis
A down-on-his-luck basketball scout discovers a once-in-a-lifetime player with a rocky past abroad and takes it upon himself to bring the phenom to the United States without his team.

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.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution.
