Synopsis

Odin James is the only Black student at the prestigious Palmetto Grove Academy, where he is a standout basketball player and widely admired, including by the team's coach and the Dean's daughter, Desi. His friend Hugo, the coach's son, harbors resentment toward Odin due to his father's favoritism both on and off the court. Seeking to undermine Odin, Hugo devises a malicious plan to create mistrust between Odin and Desi, triggering a series of events that escalate into a powerful and intense conflict.

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.
