'Rebuilding,' directed by Max Walker-Silverman, is a poignant film showcased at Sundance, capturing a narrative of resilience amidst tragedy. Set against the backdrop of devastating wildfires, it tells the story of Dusty, a cowboy who faces the destruction of his family's ranch. Through nuanced character development, the film illustrates Dusty's journey of recovery alongside the support of his daughter. Rather than a tale of despair, it emphasizes community and finding a way forward, making it an empathetic cinematic experience.
Walker-Silverman made clear in his emotional introduction, this is not a story of loss as much as it is how we figure out how to take the next steps.
The wildfire has forced Dusty to a FEMA campsite, a place that his daughter Callie-Rose sometimes visits. The pair have a relaxed, charming dynamic.
