Synopsis

“Meeting the Giant” traces a young teen’s encounter with a group of young Chinese basketball players who are brought to Singapore and groomed to play to win. After his initial resentment, he learns to look beyond the superficial veneer of the players’ nationality and understand their private struggles as well as the sacrifices their families had to make to give them a chance at a better life. As the young players gradually integrate and adapt to the local culture, the teen forms close bond with them.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
