Missing Link
Self‑appointed myth hunter Sir Lionel Frost embarks on a perilous trek through the Pacific Northwest to capture proof of the legendary “missing link,” risking ridicule from his elite peers and the wild’s deadly secrets to finally earn the validation he craves.
“Discover a comedy of epic proportions.”
Synopsis
Sir Lionel Frost is a self-proclaimed expert in the investigation of myths and monsters. However, his status is not recognized by his narrow-minded, high-society colleagues. Seeking validation from his fellow adventurers, he journeys to the Pacific Northwest to prove the existence of a legendary creature known as the missing link.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 22
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.

2019 · Box office
📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.3× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
