Synopsis

A boy from the Midwest comes to Hollywood in search of a dream: he wants to be a star. He finds acting teacher Aaron Gillespie who bills himself as "The Buddah of Buddahs" of acting teachers and gets entangled, together with a group of acting students, into the biggest scam in Hollywood: Acting Schools that promise anything you want to hear. "I will put an Oscar in your hands" are the words of Acting "Guru" Aaron Gillespie: and the story begins.... "Spinal Tap" meets "Fame" is the best way to describe this film.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
