We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Robert Craig Films as part of the No Address Movement, using the power of film to inspire action and bring hope to those experiencing homelessness in our communities. Through this collaboration, Robert Craig Films will release No Address, a feature film depicting the human side of homelessness and how Homelessness Could Happen to Anyone, in theaters nationwide on February 28, 2025. Alongside the movie, they are launching a documentary, Americans With No Address, a novelization of the screenplay, an interactive study guide, and a powerful soundtrack. Together, these projects form "The Big 5.” As part of this movement, we are honored to join the Big 5 GIVEBACK, with 50% of net profits dedicated to those working tirelessly to address homelessness nationwide. The film’s remarkable cast, including Lucas Jade Zumann, BeverlyD’Angelo, Isabella Ferreira, William Baldwin, Xander Berkeley, Ty Pennington, Kristanna Loken, Patricia Velasquez, and Ashanti, brings this critical story to life, reminding us all of the resilience of the human spirit. We invite you to join us in supporting the No Address Movement. Follow @NoAddressMovie and @RobertCraigFilmsOfficial on social media, and visit www.NoAddressMovie.com for more information. Together, we can #BreakTheNoAddressCycle
