The Net
A brilliant computer analyst must outwit a shadowy organization that has erased her identity and framed her for murder, racing against time to reclaim her life and expose the deadly cyber conspiracy.
“Her driver's license. Her credit cards. Her bank accounts. Her identity. DELETED.”
Synopsis
Angela Bennett is a freelance computer systems analyst who specializes in identifying and tracking software viruses. In her free time, she connects to the internet and communicates with others who are browsing online. While troubleshooting a new high-tech game for a cyber friend, she discovers a classified program and becomes the target of an unknown organization determined to eliminate her identity and her existence in order to safeguard the project.

A crew of 208+ credited
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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.0× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
