Synopsis

Totally Awesome is a feature-length film that brings back the nostalgia of the 1980s through a story centered on the Gunderson family, who have recently moved across the country. The children—Charlie, Lori, and Max—strive to adjust to a new school and the various challenges that come with it, including social pressures, romantic entanglements, and the pursuit of popularity. The film also features a scientifically gifted character and a quirky, endearing Japanese gardener. Totally Awesome incorporates classic elements of 1980s cinema into a plot that is described as particularly bold and unconventional.

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.
