The tender-hearted drama stars local actors Thomas L. Townsend, Elias Hamilton, and Lauren H. Davis.

Co-producers Missy and Michael Bell, joked with the crew, “If we can flush, we can film!” as production dates approached for shooting the hope-core drama, Erased. Michael said, “It ended up that just one day before the deadline we’d set for ourselves, we got non-potable water back in the pipes.” Filming took place in November and December of 2024, and the film was completed in September 2025. Missy and Michael run their production company,
