Synopsis

Lonnie and Rick appear to be complete opposites at first glance. Lonnie, a suicide survivor, is introverted and uncomfortable around her parents, Lois and Harvey. In contrast, Rick is cheerful and charismatic. However, as the teens begin a romantic relationship, their families discover that appearances can be deceiving. Upset by Lonnie's influence on Rick, his parents prohibit the couple from seeing each other, leading to tragic consequences.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
