Description: "Rebuilding" is an American independent drama film written and directed by Max Walker-Silverman, starring Josh O'Connor, Lily LaTorre, Meghann Fahy, Kali Reis, and Amy Madigan. The film follows a cowboy named Dusty (O'Connor), who ends up in a FEMA camp after a wildfire destroys his ranch, and he finds community with others who have lost their homes, including his daughter and ex-wife. The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for Max Walker-Silverman's storytelling and filmmaking, as well as O'Connor's nuanced lead performance. O'Connor and Walter-Silverman were both kind enough to spend a few minutes speaking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Bleecker Street. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
