Synopsis

Two intertwining narratives unfold: in one, Maggie Andrews, a young music teacher, is diagnosed with a heart condition and faces a terminal decline, prompting her son Nathan to desperately seek a pair of Christmas shoes for her before her death. In the other, attorney Robert Layton and his wife Kate experience a growing emotional distance, which reaches a critical point during the Christmas season when Kate steps in to lead the school choir in Maggie's place.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
