Social Drama/Comedy, 16mm, 2023, 15 mins.

Cropper's debut narrative short, No Acorns for a Blind Hog, centers on a North Texas dive bar in December 1978-- fifteen minutes before the turn of the New Year. A downtrodden postage meter salesman, Jerome, and a pompous, newly sworn-in officer, Darrell, lock antlers after their differing successes are pitted against each other. Somewhere within this humorous, beer-soaked portrayal of middle-class strife and rooted Americana lies hidden wounds of repressed emotion and bruised masculinity.
