The Director
From the backyard school of filmmaking Garth Donovan has been making films since his early teenage years. He has made two award-winning feature films, the first of which, “Everyone’s Got One,” is being distributed by Film Threat in 2008. Currently, Garth has just finished “Cubby Knowles,” starring actor/filmmakers Alex Karpovsky and Andrew Bujalski. It is the first feature in Garth's AMERICAN TRASH TRILOGY – a series of three feature films, all funded by recyclable cans and scrap metal (that the director collects himself) — that all comment on how American values are becoming trash.
The Film
Patrick lives his life hard. Barely thirty, he’s a cocaine addict, womanizer, alcoholic, and gambler in massive debt. And now that it’s Spring, he feels it’s time to come out of hibernation. But maybe it’s the bond he has with his young nephew or his sister’s pleads to become more responsible, he’s starting to think it’s time to get his life together. But is his tragic life past saving?
