American Trash

A midst a social crisis in the decaying world of Los Angeles, the city free falls into environmental ruin, chaos and a complete drug epidemic, creating a state of apathy and hate. Milles Carpis leans on the support of some new age hippie friends as they guide him away from violence when the woman he loves is murdered and Milles must face his greatest enemy.

Directed by Robert LaSardo, American Trash leans on a strong ensemble — Robert LaSardo, Lorelei Linklater, Gigi Gustin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
