Synopsis

Roger Willoughby is a well-known fishing expert, though those around him—his friends, coworkers, and boss—are unaware that he has never actually cast a line. His life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Abigail Paige, a persistently cheerful and somewhat bothersome young woman who has convinced his boss to register Roger for an upcoming fishing tournament.

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.
