Synopsis

After her father's death, Little Voice, or LV, becomes a recluse, rarely leaving her room and speaking very little. She spends most of her time listening to her late father's record collection, which features artists like Shirley Bassey and Marilyn Monroe, among other famous female singers. At night, however, LV sings, imitating these artists with remarkable accuracy. One evening, she is overheard by one of her mother's boyfriends, who is a talent agent. He convinces her that she has a special talent and arranges for her to perform at a local nightclub, though several complications soon arise.

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.
