Synopsis

Steve and George are classmates entangled in a dangerous dynamic. For Steve, high school is a game of seduction, which he uses to fuel his art and poetry. His pursuit of the school's star athlete initiates a tense chase that could jeopardize both his reputation and the athlete's. Meanwhile, George, a reclusive student, deals with the stress of his mother's cancer and a strained relationship with his father by skipping class and using drugs. When he attempts to escape his troubles by hooking up with a stranger, he ends up in a life-threatening situation. Though they are at odds, George and Steve share more similarities than they realize. As their lives spiral downward, they face a choice: either save each other or continue toward self-destruction.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
