The Ugly Stepsister
Elvira, a determined but overlooked stepdaughter in a kingdom where beauty is a ruthless commodity, will stop at nothing to outshine her glamorous sister and win the prince’s favor—risking her sanity and body in a savage contest of appearance.
“If the shoe doesn't fit...”
Synopsis
In a fairy-tale kingdom where beauty is a lucrative and cutthroat industry, Elvira struggles to compete with her strikingly beautiful stepsister, Agnes, and is determined to do whatever it takes to capture the Prince's attention.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 29
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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.3× 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).
