Synopsis

A young boy with a vivid imagination and a tendency to invent stories finds himself in a dangerous situation after witnessing a murder. When he tries to alert his parents and the police, they dismiss his account as another fabrication. However, the killers, who reside in the apartment above him, are fully aware of what he saw and now see him as a threat. Determined to eliminate any evidence, they begin to plot his permanent silence.

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.
