Synopsis

Gerry is a skilled but struggling gambler whose luck begins to shift when he meets Curtis, a younger and charismatic poker player. The two quickly form a friendship, and Gerry convinces Curtis to join him on a road trip to a high-stakes poker game in New Orleans. As they travel down the Mississippi River, Gerry and Curtis visit numerous bars, racetracks, casinos, and pool halls, experiencing both triumphs and setbacks. Through these experiences, they develop a strong and meaningful connection that endures long after their journey concludes.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.0× 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).
