Summer Dreams

Directed by

Synopsis

Summer Dreams follows two of the NBA's top draft picks and unsigned players rising from obscurity, as well as an aspiring coach and a female referee, as they try to find their way to the NBA. The grueling 10-day, 61-game NBA Summer League takes place in the ultimate fantasy land - Las Vegas, where dreams either come true or are crushed. Summer Dreams tracks the unique journeys of 2013 NBA Draft first-round picks Michael Carter-Williams of the Philadelphia 76ers and Shane Larkin of the Dallas Mavericks, son of Baseball Hall of Famer Barry Larkin. Also, the special will spotlight other Summer League personalities, including Lauren Holtkamp, a woman trying to become the second current female referee in the NBA; a young, recently unemployed NBA Development League coach trying to get noticed by league GMs.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
