Synopsis

Gunther, a 14-year-old boy, moves with his parents and younger brother to a small town. There, he meets a group of overly charitable paperboys who ask him to temporarily replace their friend while he is away. Gunther agrees, hoping to earn enough money to buy concert tickets for himself and his crush, a blonde and attractive girl. Along the way, he must contend with Chad, her wannabe boyfriend, and his group of bullies. Through the experience, Gunther learns to respect himself and others, while also learning to enjoy the journey.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
