Synopsis

Can you keep a family secret? Prepare to enter the dark and funny world of the Speck family. Ruled by gray-haired patriarch Vincent Speck, they appear to be your average upper-class American family as they gather together for the weekend. Siblings snipe at each other behind their backs, and the parents worry about the future. Signs that all is not well within the Specks' world begin when Vincent announces the arranged marriage of his son Aldo to a woman he has never met. They are set to marry the next day. Soon after the wedding, the eldest son, Edward, is found dead in his bedroom. What's going on here?

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.
