Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
A socially detached high school senior forms an unexpected bond with a classmate battling leukemia, discovering through quirky humor and homemade films that connection can come from the most unexpected places.
“A little friendship never killed anyone.”
Synopsis
Greg is trying to fly under the radar during his senior year of high school, avoiding social interactions as much as possible while spending his free time making eccentric and unusual films with Earl, his only friend. However, his carefully maintained anonymity and the stability of their friendship are put at risk when his mother insists he befriend a classmate who has leukemia.

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.
