The Box Truck Film

Follow two builders as they convert a 17-foot moving truck into a tiny house and mobile reuse education center, using almost nothing but reused, repurposed and dumpster dived materials!
Greenwich Academy and Waste Free Greenwich invite you for a Q&A with reuse experts Alex Eaves and Derek “Deek” Diedricksen and a screening of “The Box Truck Film: Building A Reuseful Home.” Through creative (and even comical) solutions, the film proves that almost everything we need to thrive in our daily lives already exists in abundance. Discover the endless benefits of the reuse life!
