Synopsis

Andy LeBeau is an angel who is struggling with his training, repeatedly making mistakes and causing problems. As a result, Archangel Michael gives him one final opportunity to prove himself. Andy is tasked with assisting in three cases. The first involves the Desautel family, who are on the verge of breaking up. The second is the McNulty family, who are consumed by work. The third is Dorothea Powell, a reclusive and grumpy elderly woman. Andy is guided on Earth by Blake, who is not particularly pleased to be working with him.

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.
