Synopsis

Steffie Waters has lived her whole life in a small and strangely musical country town, brought up by her grandmother Maria. Steffie would love to get to the city but is held back by loyalty to her boyfriend Mike and best friend Allie. But when Sebastian Johnson and Kev Plummer, two ageing judges from a struggling reality TV show, arrive in town to run a music competition, Steffie has to make tough decisions. As the week unfolds, Sebastian - Maria's old flame - is confronted with the consequences of his past, and he and Steffie must both work out what is truly important in life. Featuring a superb soundtrack, The Competition is a warm-hearted story of what it really takes to follow your dreams.

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.
