Extremely proud of this certified Gender Balanced Production.

The Women of Erased:

CAST:

Molly Graves (Cop 1)
Jamie Burroughs (Adrienne Bledsoe)
Laura Mae Cuellar (Waitress)
Lauren H. Davis (Stacie)

While the protagonist of Erased is Evan Henderson, the women of the film are not simple catalysts.

Writer/Director, Missy Bell, wanted to make sure that every character was a full, round, human being with a complex and intriguing story of their own.

The actors cast in these roles present deep and cultivated fully realized humans who are relatable, beautiful, fierce, and powerful, all in their own rights and in their own ways.

An early reviewer said, "I found myself captivated by every character, even down to the Waitress. I found myself leaving the theatre thinking about her - what is HER story? I could watch a full film about every one of them."

The film is about a man, but it is told with a feminist eye through a feminine gaze.

All these women are powerhouses - both the actresses and the characters they play, contributing to a certified Gender Balanced Production and a cinematic experience chock full of intrigue and emotion.

Tickets are going quickly for our August 29th premiere event. We encourage our fans to grab yours EARLY. We have plans for an intense marketing campaign growing more and more intense the closer we arrive to the event, which means that the longer you wait, the less likely it is you'll get a seat. Our goal is to sell out prior to the date, so likelihood is super high you won't be able to get a ticket at the door. Help us reach this goal and get a great seat while supplies last!

Erased is both a one-crazy-night film and a grown-up coming of age story that follows Evan, a thirty-something business man about to make the deal that will give him everything he’s ever wanted, until he is confronted by Tristan, the now 18 year old son he chose to abandon at birth. This event is ...

It's true.

Director, Missy Bell, loves a 2-shot.

"It's a simple part of standard coverage but the intimacy is so beautiful when well framed. I love that we bring the audience in to the whole world of the relationship - we get to see both reactions and deliveries simultaneously, which gives insight other sorts of coverage don't always achieve."

From top to bottom:

Evan and Adrienne react to good news.
Evan allows Tristan to stay as long as he remains quiet.
Tristan hears his mom say "I love you."
Evan waits for Tristan to try his first sip of black coffee.

Which character are you most excited to meet at the premiere? What about them captures your attention?

This year, our Mentoring Program came to us.

Missy was working on a feature film and one of the actors approached her asking for help getting started as a director. She already had a concept and a script outline, but no idea what to do next.

Both Michael and Missy, founders of Mouse House, started their professional careers in education, and have a heart for teaching and giving back. Their dream is to create a Village of artists pursuing film together. Bringing in new folks to the industry is a huge part of this process.

Annually, we hope to open the door for one new filmmaker to get their short film through development, into the can, and out into the world.

There is so much more to come soon, and we will open applications in the very near future for 2027. We are also open to adding another film to our docket for 2026, but only to new directors who are already a part of the Mouse Village (have worked on a film with us in another capacity).

This program will offer mentorship guidance from conceptualization and outline of your script all the way through distribution options. We also hope to create exciting opportunities for crew positions along the way.
