Synopsis

When Roberta receives a call informing her that her estranged brother Frank has died under strange circumstances in a small town, her college friend Ben also gets the same news. Arriving in time for the funeral, they quickly realize the town is an unsettling, surreal version of small-town America, filled with Frank's eccentric friends, hidden secrets, and an unusual final request. Both are surprised to learn that Frank not only had a child but has left them responsible for raising his son.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
