Intermission
When a clumsy breakup sets off a domino effect among Dublin’s small‑town delinquents, crooked police and aspiring romantics, each must race to protect their lives and loves before the whole city spirals into chaos.
“Life is what happens in between.”
Synopsis
A lively narrative follows the intertwined lives and relationships of small-town delinquents, corrupt police officers, attractive young women, and troublemaking boys. With a blend of Irish spirit and resilience, characters' lives intersect, assumptions are challenged, and relationships are pushed to their limits. A poorly timed and clumsily handled breakup between a couple sparks a chain reaction that impacts the entire town.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 21
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 1.0× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
