Road Trip

A college freshman desperate to prove his long‑distance romance is still intact turns to obsessive video messages, only to have his insecurities spiral into a dangerous web of jealousy, academic pressure, and a seductive rival who threatens both his heart and future.

The greatest college tradition of all.

Synopsis

A university student at Ithaca records a one‑night encounter with a sorority member, only to learn that a friend mistakenly mailed the homemade video to his girlfriend in Austin. He then borrows a car and drives across the country in an attempt to retrieve the tape before it reaches her.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 86+ credited

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.

Box Office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 7.5× 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).
