Jeff, Who Lives at Home
A directionless slacker is thrust into a wild day of misadventures when his mother sends him on an errand and he teams up with his detective‑obsessed brother to uncover the truth about a potentially cheating wife, forcing Jeff to confront his own purpose amid chaotic clues and unexpected revelations.
“The first step to finding your destiny is leaving your mother's basement.”
Synopsis
Jeff, a slacker who is dispatched from his basement room on an errand for his mother, might finally discover his destiny when he spends the day with his brother, who is tracking his possibly adulterous wife.

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.
