In the gritty, emotionally charged drama Sawdust, director Joshua Trujillo crafts a taut and intimate portrait of two men locked in a cycle of desperation and survival. Germain Arroyo and Pedro Honess star as estranged brothers, Miguel and Carlos, who are forced to confront their fractured relationship when a devastating family crisis threatens to tear apart what little they have left. Miguel, a struggling carpenter haunted by past failures, seeks redemption through his craft, while Carlos, a volatile drifter, returns to their small hometown with a dangerous secret that could destroy them both. As they grapple with mounting debts and the weight of their father’s legacy, their only hope lies in a risky, last-ditch scheme involving a valuable shipment of rare wood—a plan that forces them to trust each other or face ruin. With a runtime of just 21 minutes, this raw and gripping drama explores themes of loyalty, guilt, and the corrosive power of buried truths, delivering a powerful, claustrophobic story that lingers long after the final frame.
