The Guilty
A haunted LAPD night‑shift dispatcher must race against the clock to locate a kidnapped mother and save her children, using only fragmented 911 clues while battling his own pending court case that threatens to derail his every move.
“Listen carefully.”

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 39
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.
