Synopsis

Georgie Godwin is the heaviest man in Britain and has become a tourist attraction, largely due to the efforts of his greedy agent, cabbie Morris. His only regular outside contact, aside from Morris, is his devoted neighbor Janice. Georgie's life changes when he meets Amy, a pregnant teenager escaping a violent boyfriend, whom he takes in as a lodger. Amy attempts to help Georgie improve his lifestyle, but Morris is determined to prevent her from ruining his profitable attraction.

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.
