Kilroy
Synopsis
True redemption story of one of the most powerful mob bosses in California history. Ernest “Kilroy” Roybal would become one of the most powerful mobsters on the West Coast; born in 1939, he grew up in Boyle Heights, California. Kilroy, a physically superior individual excelled in boxing at the historic Main Street gym and by many accounts would have had a solid professional career as a baseball player, but for the gangster lifestyle. Incorrigible from the age of two he eventually joined the White Fence gang and was soon sentenced to the Youth Authority, then to state prison. An early pioneer in the Mexican Mafia, Kilroy would be considered one of the most violent and powerful members spending over 40 years in Folsom, Tracy, San Quentin, and Pelican Bay. Later in life he would finally meet someone he couldn’t overpower. Kilroy’s personal journey proves that anything is possible with God.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 17
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.
