Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Rotterdam with a crew of six over one weekend. The 'American' developers were actually Dutch actors doing their best midwestern nightmare.
The title 'Garbage' refers to both the club's junkyard aesthetic and how working-class spaces get treated by developers. Eikelenboom based it on three real Rotterdam auto clubs that vanished in 2018.
