Rebuilding

A touching and beautifully told story of the American West, REBUILDING follows Dusty (Josh O’Connor), a reserved, divorced father whose ranch has burned to the ground in a devastating wildfire. Now living alone in a trailer community on a government-run campsite, Dusty finds solace with his new neighbors who have also lost everything as he begins to reassemble his life and reconnect with his ex-wife Ruby (Meghann Fahy) and young daughter Callie-Rose (Lily LaTorre). Dusty is determined to rebuild on the land that’s been passed down through his family for generations. In learning to live with loss, Dusty discovers that he doesn’t have to do it all on his own. Director/Writer Max Walker-Silverman was inspired to write the script after his grandmother lost her home in a fire in the same location where the film is set. Filmed against the stunning backdrop and big sky of southern Colorado, REBUILDING is a moving portrait of resilience, human connection, and healing in the wake of devastating loss.
