Help people spot signs of abuse BEFORE it turns violent.

A man and woman in a photobooth, she looks scared of him

WHAT’S AT STAKE:

Most people don’t understand the damage caused by the lesser-known forms of abuse, so they often won’t get help until they’re in immense danger.

The first signs of abuse are hard to spot.

That’s why our team came together to create a 40-min sci-fi film about relationship abuse, inspired by the memories of real survivors. The film illustrates the lesser known forms of abuse, like emotional abuse, isolation tactics, digital abuse, and more.

Watch the Teaser Trailer below, with an Intro by the Director and Producer.

ABOUT THE FILM

A young woman links minds with her boyfriend, using a device that lets couples relive shared memories— but when she spots overlooked signs of abuse, she must escape before he can manipulate her memories in his favor.

Teaser Trailer

Director’s Statement

The Last Drop is a short sci-fi film and international campaign designed to reveal the early signs of relationship abuse by taking viewers on a journey through the memories of real survivors. The story is based on my own personal experiences as a survivor of relationship abuse, as well as dozens of conversations with other survivors and experts. My goal is to hook audiences with an exciting sci-fi device— a machine that lets couples relive shared memories— and then leave folks with a deeper understanding of relationship safety. The Last Drop aims to show young people, educators, social workers, mental health professionals, policymakers, and community groups what abuse looks like BEFORE it turns violent.

There are many forms of abuse, and most survivors only learn the warning signs in hindsight. Together, we can change that.

Abuse thrives in silence— let’s talk about it.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING:

“I am captured by how it displays all of the forms of abuse that often go "under the radar." I have worked with victims who do not believe they deserve help because they do not identify their situation as abusive or "that bad." This film portrays very clearly some of those other less tangible and less talked about forms of abuse, which I hope moves to change the narrative about what relationship abuse is.”

—Maryland Health Care Coalition Against Domestic Violence
“We feel privileged to be able to bring this film to the Sunshine Coast and raise awareness about coercive control, especially as Queensland prepares to criminalize coercive control in the near future. The movie was a great success and we had excellent feedback. It was amazing to hear the young people calling out the harm and shouting instructions to the characters as the film unfolded on screen.”

—IFYS
“The inmates saw themselves in the male character who, just like them, never meant to be who they became.”

—PREVAIL
“I want to stress yet again how impressed I was, not only with your film but your presentation that accompanied it. In all my years working at the Judiciary in domestic violence I have never been a part of a training that was so on point.”

—NJ Administrative Office of the Courts
“Participants had positive behavior changes, including increased likelihood to seek help for both themselves or a friend in an unhealthy/abusive relationship, increased likelihood to communicate and respect boundaries, and healthy attitudes towards ending relationships.”

—One Love Foundation
“People were so moved by the film. One crew member at the theatre told me after that he had to step out a few times because he was so overcome with emotion, something that he did not expect at all. He couldn’t believe how well the story depicted the complexities of coercion and control, which are often very hard to describe to people who have not had a similar experience. We wish you the best and know that many more communities will benefit from this masterful and poignant film.”

—Susan B. Anthony Project
“It is cinematically incredibly well produced, filmed, and the script was compelling and fresh, and reflected the target age group and their social reality. There were lots of tears in the room and many people expressed they were profoundly impacted by the movie. The film did a good job matching the patterns of behaviors to help resist common victim blaming narratives without being preachy but by showing the control and fear aspects of Coercive Control. You all did an amazing job.”

—The Safe & Together Institute
“Fantastic, accurate, meaningful, impactful. Our staff said that the action in the film directly related to the stories their clients tell them.”

—JCADA
“Fabulous film and presentation! I have seen a ton of sex ed films over my 35 years in sex ed and this was the best. Not even close.”

—Bill Taverner, Sex Ed Lecture Series
“Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge, and expertise at the 20th BIPP Conference. Your session on The Last Drop was incredibly impactful and enriched the learning experience for all who attended. We’re grateful for your contribution to advancing survivor-centered, accountable approaches in Battering Intervention and Prevention Programming.”

—Texas Council on Family Violence
