Synopsis

Edwin’s Restaurant aims to become one of America’s top French restaurants, distinguished by its unique staff. Brandon Edwin Chrostowski is preparing to open his fine dining establishment in Cleveland, Ohio, employing a team composed almost entirely of recently released prisoners seeking a chance to rebuild their lives. The staff participates in a classical French food boot camp to learn the fundamentals of fine wine, sauces, and other aspects of high-end cuisine.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
