Half-Caff is a collaborative project with fellow filmmakers Elizabeth Arceneaux (Coach Thomas) and Luke Preza (Save Game?, G.A.M.E.R.) produced between September 2020 and March 2021 that follows the "tragic" backstory of a mad scientist after his plot to poison the Tri-County water reservoir. Elaine served as the editor and as a writer alongside Kevin Kraft (United We Stand). Elaine also designed the poster. The film was released publicly in May 2021 as part of Douglas Anderson Cinematic Arts' spring showcase for that year.
