Son in Law
A naive farm girl studying in L.A. invites her wild new friend home for Thanksgiving, forcing him to masquerade as her fiancé and sparking a chaotic clash between small‑town expectations and big‑city antics.
“He's a relative nightmare.”
Synopsis
Rebecca, a country girl who has spent most of her life on a farm in South Dakota, feels out of place when she goes away to college in Los Angeles. She is befriended by Crawl, a savvy party animal who convinces her to stay in the city. When Thanksgiving break arrives, Rebecca, now no longer an innocent farm girl, invites Crawl back to South Dakota, where he pretends to be her fiancé.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 22
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.
