Synopsis

Zoe Tyler is a teenager struggling with manic depression. Her father, a musician, is frequently absent, making her life difficult. She is eventually admitted to a psychiatric ward for treatment, where she meets Jake, another teenager with emotional instability and a tendency toward anger. The two develop a romantic relationship, but they are soon separated by their doctors, psychiatrists, and families. Feeling frustrated and resentful, Jake sees an opportunity to escape and takes Zoe with him, along with several other patients. After traveling across the country, Jake and Zoe must confront both their mental illnesses and the consequences of their actions.

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.
