Synopsis

Steve, an eleven-year-old boy, is the smallest in his class. He finds girls annoying, dislikes football, and enjoys painting instead. To cope with his loneliness, he sometimes retreats into a violent fantasy world of his own imagination. His only reliable friend is Stuart, who provides a sense of stability in a world marked by frequent arguments—most of which are about Steve.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
