My Big Gay Jewish Conversion

Directed by
Runtime
50 min
Documentary

Synopsis

Simon Atkins embarks on a personal journey for BBC Three, exploring different religious attitudes toward being gay. He seeks to determine whether Judaism is more tolerant of his sexuality than his Catholic faith, questioning if it is truly better to stick with the devil he knows. A Roman Catholic, Simon became disillusioned upon realizing that, as a gay man, he could not marry in the eyes of God. His religion had not significantly affected his lifestyle until he met his Jewish boyfriend, Matthew, whose synagogue permits same-sex marriage. In this one-off documentary, Simon undertakes a personal mission to discover whether, as a gay man, he could convert to Judaism and whether it is worth sacrificing his Catholic upbringing.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
