Hello! My name is Dalton Causey and I am the Director of ERIC'S LAST DROP. I also play the role of Eric!

I hold this project very close to me, because Eric, my character, has cancer. And he's actually had it before, as a child. The doctors told him once he turned 25, the chances of it coming back would drop from 50% to 25%. And well, just before he and his friends get to celebrate his 25th... you get the gist. What Eric goes through is based on my own fears from my own experience.

The short film itself celebrates the little intimate moments we share together - because at the end of the day, those seemingly insignificant moments are what matters most when it feels like life is doing everything in its power to push you into the ongoing traffic of despair. But don't let me bring you down, this short is very hopeful. And honestly, pretty funny. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it's a blast. ERIC'S LAST DROP will be a breath of fresh air at big festivals if we can get the funding we need.

In December of 2023, Mary-Clare Bone and I made our first short film, THE DUTCH CLEANSE, over the course of three days with $150 and a crew of three people. A month later, we made our second, TURN & COUGH, in one day with no money at all and a crew of two people. And while we are beyond proud of both of them, we found ourselves having to cut corners because of our limited resources. Sometimes the lighting makes the shots blurry, sometimes you can't really hear what the actors are saying; These issues seem small, but when it comes to getting into film festivals and being taken seriously, they're detrimental. So, for ERIC'S LAST DROP, we want to raise the money needed for better equipment, a bigger crew, and festival fees. If you look at other crowdfunded short films, you'll notice we're actually asking for a lot less. And that's because we know how to do a lot with very little. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and you will be recognized for helping produce a story that is very, very important to me.
