The Box Truck Film: Building a Reuseful Home!

The Box Truck Film is a prime example of how single use and fast fashion culture has infiltrated our minds. Convenience = disregard. There are so many opportunities to reuse in our daily lives, and creating a mobile home like Alex and Derek did is just one of those ways that can make a lasting, educated impression. It's important we spread awareness of the toxicity behind disposable culture and how our singular and collective impact can transform the future. If we share this film with our friends, and keep the conversation going - we can take accountability for our impact in the landfills. So many rad things can be salvaged and made into beauty if we just take a second to think. Great job!

Alex and Deek do an amazing job showcasing the abundance of creative and useful ways to repurpose materials that is sure to inspire viewers to do the same. The storyline was captivating and the characters so entertaining, well-versed, and devoted to the project. Having had a tour of the truck just last week, I was amazed then but even more so after watching the film and seeing the amount of time, effort, energy, resourcefulness, enthusiasm, and initiative that went into making this moving home and learning center. It certainly has inspired me to rethink my living and working spaces and to seek out ways to use more repurposed materials.

I loved this documentary! How fascinating to see the transformation of a plain white box truck into a charming, one-of-a-kind tiny home. Alex and Deek are likable guides who take us on a journey of reuse and repurpose that is both inspiring and practical. We get to see every detail of how the truck gets doors, windows, storage, bathroom, kitchen, bed and personality, all from mostly reclaimed materials that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill. In addition to the excitement of the renovation, we also get a window into the friendship between Alex and Deek that is heartwarming and seemingly tension-free. These guys are to be commended for their courage in taking on a project like this and showing the world that it can be done. Kudos Alex and Deek - you did it! Watch it - you won't be disappointed!

Yes I reused my text, cause it's better to reuse than produce bad things just to have more.

Alex and Deek are funny and entertaining! There is a good flow to the film. They made a great living space out of a second hand truck and repurposed materials. This is so much more affordable than buying new things. In a time when we are in a climate crisis, everyone needs to scale down their living spaces and the new resources they use. Using second hand items whenever possible is so necessary. This film showcases so many great ideas of how to reuse things and turn them into something wonderful! The finished tiny home looks very nice and is also very functional, with a lot of storage areas. There are also helpful tips from experts throughout the film. If you are thinking of converting a space into a tiny home, this is the best film to watch!
