Two years ago, Sean Devlin began a community fundraising event which involved finding treasures in the trash of Beverly, Mass.

The event, known now as the Trashfinder's Ball, become a local overnight sensation involving hundreds of members of the Beverly community, who participated as contestants, judges, workers, readers, musicians, and general "lives of the party." Kevin Carey, a friend of Sean's and a local filmmaker approached him about filming the ball.

After several conversations, the two decided to dig a little deeper, to interview participants, trash pickers, judges, and the workers responsible for this wonderful community event.
