Say It Isn't So
A young man and woman fall deeply in love, only to believe they're siblings due to a wild case of mistaken identity, forcing him to race across the country to win her back before it's too late.
“They share a love. They share a passion. And they might share DNA.”
Synopsis
A young man meets a girl, falls in love with her, and they begin a passionate romantic and sexual relationship. Their happiness is short-lived when they discover they are brother and sister. However, when the man learns that the identity mix-up was a case of mistaken identity and that they are not actually related, he must race across the country to prevent her from marrying someone else, as the misunderstanding still lingers with others around them.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.5× 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).
