Wandering amongst the plotted rows of houses within the motherly arms of the suburbs, two brothers take advantage of the hours that most spend asleep. They sip liquid courage and shout their dreams aloud, only to hear them echo back in the brisk midwestern fall air.

Twenty-four year old Brad commemorates what seems to be his last night in the suburbs alongside his older brother Tyler, who is on the brink of turning thirty and still living at home. As the hours dwindle until dawn, Brad struggles to confront the realization that all things must change.

Rubbish came together in 2005 under one clear unified mindset: develop work that tells a strong story and leaves audiences with lasting impressions. 

Originally focused on narrative and documentary film production, we have since expanded our expertise into commercial video work. We’ve developed award winning projects alongside clients such as Flow Snowboarding, Intel and Nike. All the while, our films continue to have a presence at film festivals around the country.

Storytelling is the core of our company. Rubbish believes in creating distinctly original work that stands on the shoulders of even stronger content. It doesn’t matter the form our work takes, the goal is always simple - tell a great story.
