Synopsis

Morris Gentry, a 13-year-old aspiring rapper who sees himself as the next Notorious B.I.G., has recently moved to Heidelberg, Germany, with his single father, Curtis. Struggling to fit in, Morris finds himself out of place in a city dominated by electronic dance music. His challenges grow when he develops feelings for Katrin, a 15-year-old classmate who is cool, rebellious, and seemingly out of his league. Determined, Morris sets out to make a name for himself in the hip-hop scene and win Katrin's affection.

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.
