Reuse Edutainer Alex Eaves and Tiny House Expert Derek “Deek” Diedricksen have transformed a 17-foot box truck into a 98-Square Foot tiny house and mobile reuse education center; combining their knowledge of reuse and building tiny houses. Alex and Deek have reused every step of the way: from the truck to the materials to screws. They show people how, with a little more thought and creativity, reuse is everywhere and it's not only beneficial to our planet, but it benefits people and their wallets too.
In addition, the two DIY forces have come together with director Jason Kimball to produce the feature length documentary, "The Box Truck Film: Building a Reuseful Home.” Showcasing both their joys and frustrations, the film delivers the entire process of the box truck metamorphosis; from its initial design phase to Alex’s three years of living and traveling through the U.S. The reuse and tiny house movements continue to grow each year and this film provides a clear and entertaining means for people of all ages to see the practical benefits of reusing to reduce waste in their own lives.
