The Box Truck Film follows Alex Eaves and Derek Diedricksen as they transform a used moving truck into a box truck tiny home built from reused, salvaged, and repurposed materials.
What starts as a simple idea becomes a tiny house build, a mobile reuse education center, and a creative experiment in sustainable living. From thrift store finds to dumpster-dived materials, this project shows how much can be built when you choose reuse over waste.
If you like tiny houses, off-grid living, upcycling, and DIY builds, this film is for you.
