Queer
An isolated American expatriate in 1950s Mexico City risks his solitary existence to pursue a forbidden romance with a younger student, confronting the era’s rigid social mores and his own yearning for intimacy.
“I'm not Queer, I'm disembodied.”
Synopsis
In the 1950s, William Lee, an American expatriate in his late forties, lives a solitary life in Mexico City among a small community of fellow Americans. The arrival of Eugene Allerton, a young student, prompts William to form his first meaningful connection with another person.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 20
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.1× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
