Ken Park

Four troubled teenagers must confront their abusive families and shattered dreams when the suicide of their friend forces them to face the darkness lurking in their own lives.

Drama

Synopsis

Teen skater Ken Park (nicknamed Krap Nek; his name spelled and pronounced backward) dies by suicide at a Visalia skate park; his death frames the lives of four other young people who knew him: Shawn, the most conventional; Tate, who is filled with psychotic rage; Claude, who is constantly harassed by his brutish father and awkwardly coddled by his enormously pregnant mother; and Peaches, who cares for her devoutly religious father but longs for freedom. They claim to be close.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
