Josh O’Connor & Max Walker-Silverman on Turning Wildfire Loss Into “Rebuilding”

In Max Walker-Silverman’s deeply personal and timely drama Rebuilding, Josh O’Connor plays a Colorado rancher navigating life after a devastating wildfire destroys his home. Inspired by a real-life tragedy in Walker-Silverman’s own family, the film explores resilience, community, and the outpouring of kindness that can arise from disaster. At the IndieWire Studio at Sundance 2025, presented by Dropbox, O’Connor joins co-stars Meghann Fahy, Lily LaTorre, and Kali Reis, along with Walker-Silverman, for an insightful conversation with Ryan Lattanzio about the film’s origins, the immersive production process, and the hope it offers in the face of uncertainty. 📍 Filmed at The IndieWire Studio on January 25, 2025, in Park City, Utah. 🎥 Presented by Dropbox, supporting filmmakers at every stage of production. #IndieWire #Sundance2025 #Rebuilding #JoshOConnor #MaxWalkerSilverman
