Love Trash is a documentary about dumpster diving. Two friends decide to do an experiment in trash. They rent an unfurnished apartment and arrive with only the clothes they are wearing and a flashlight. They decide not to buy any things for 3 months and instead to find all their needs in the trash. They furnish their apartment lavishly. They eat decadently. They dress sharp, and create beautiful art, all from the trash.

Meet the Filmmaker

Director's Statement:

We hoped, in the creation of this film, to show that dumpster diving is a viable option that anyone can partake in to any degree in their lives. The goal of this film is not to convince you to immediately stop buying things, but to show that finding your needs is always an option. Whether it is food, clothing, electronics, art materials, etc. it's all out there. It's all free and it's all going to be buried in the ground. This film shows that wherever you are, you can poke, wade or dive right in.
