Synopsis

In 1992, teenager Sandi Tan made Singapore's first independent road movie with her mysterious American mentor, Georges, but he disappeared along with all the footage. Twenty years later, the 16mm film is found, prompting Tan—now a novelist living in Los Angeles—to embark on a personal journey to trace Georges' lost trail.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
