The Answer Man
“He wrote the book on life's big questions. But the truth is he hasn't got a clue.”
Synopsis
Twenty years ago, Arlen Faber authored a book on spirituality that achieved widespread popularity. Now, he lives as a grumpy recluse, finding companionship only in his chiropractor, Elizabeth. As Elizabeth's kindness begins to thaw Arlen's hardened demeanor, he gradually comes to understand the true meaning of love.

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.
