Synopsis

A rebellious teenage drug user, Paul is startled by an apparition of an African Christ, who is visible to him only. At the same time, Paul's mother Nora has nightmares about Paul being murdered by his abusive father, Brian, while in real life, Brian is making death threats to her new lover. Encouraged by Christ to become more spiritual, Paul struggles to convince his family and friends that he isn't crazy, and find out why Christ has appeared to him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
