Synopsis

When Pat Kramer is exposed to an unusual combination of household chemicals, she begins to shrink. The phenomenon puzzles scientists, complicates her parenting responsibilities, and earns her sympathy from the public. Her situation also draws the interest of a group with global domination as their goal. This group plans to kidnap Pat and conduct experiments on her, with the ultimate aim of shrinking the entire population.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
