Just Friends
A formerly overweight high‑school outcast turned LA record executive must win over a rising pop star in Paris while confronting the lingering scars of his past humiliation and the clash between his ruthless ambition and newfound desire for genuine connection.
“He loves her. She loves him not.”
Synopsis
A man returns to his hometown for Christmas and encounters his former high school crush, a woman with whom he was once close friends. Her past rejection of him led him to become a compulsive womanizer.

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.
