About

Dusty is a quiet Colorado rancher whose family property is destroyed in a devastating wildfire. With his livelihood gone and the land unusable for years, Dusty moves into a FEMA trailer camp, taking a road construction job while trying to find his footing. Surrounded by neighbours who have also lost everything, he gradually discovers the healing power of community. At the same time, he works to mend his fractured relationship with his young daughter, Callie-Rose, and reconnects with his ex-wife Ruby.

REVIEWS
"A lyrical tale of combatting misfortune via community." Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

"A distant lightning storm indicates nature is a force to be reckoned with but in Walker-Silverman's films the energy of empathetic human nature is shown to be just as powerful." Amber Wilkinson, Screen Daily

"O'Connor is so fragile in his performance, he looks as if he'd crumble if you looked at him the wrong way." Kent M. Wilhelm, The Film Stage

"The importance of community for survival is a dominant theme in Rebuilding, and the bonds explored in the film feel authentically human as opposed to cloyingly optimistic." Natalia Keogan, The A.V. Club
