Synopsis

Meet Jim Maloney. Fending off impending debts, struggling to support his ever-drifting younger brother, Gabriel, and stumbling through life as a young professional, Jim is performing a tiresome balancing act, slowly losing the battle to the banality of adulthood. Nearing a mental breakdown, Jim leaves his claustrophobic Boston apartment to revisit his hometown in New Hampshire for the first time in seven years. There, he finds his childhood friend, Mark, living in absolute isolation repairing lawnmowers in his backyard to make a living. Now, awkwardly rekindling a lost relationship, the two friends must come to terms with the choices they've made, in search for a way to prevent a life lived in regret. A character-driven drama about the possibilities of the future and the fears that hold us back, ""Up and Down Again"" examines the complexities of friendship, adulthood, and the courage it takes to live the life you want.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
