Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Big 5 GIVEBACK?
As an organization, Robert Craig Films is deeply committed to addressing the urgent issue of homelessness. For this reason, we are proud to pledge that 50% of the net profits from our five No Address productions will be donated to a diverse range of organizations and churches nationwide that are tirelessly working to combat the homelessness crisis within their communities.

We invite nonprofit organizations, including church groups actively engaged in this critical work, to apply for this funding by submitting the form found on our No Address website.

The Big 5 represents not only a series of creative endeavors but also a call to action, encouraging our audience to engage and collaborate with local nonprofits addressing homelessness. This is what we call the No Address Movement!


How did you hear about our nonprofit?
Robert Craig Films has been diligently searching for the best nonprofits around the country that are making a significant impact in addressing homelessness. Your organization came up as one of the leading examples of this important work!

What is the funding based on, when will we receive the funding and how much should we expect?
The funding is based on us solely verifying your nonprofit status and confirming that your organization helps those experiencing homelessness.

We anticipate that our approved nonprofit partners will receive funding after the movie has been released in theaters. While we do not have a projected amount for the 50% of net profits, we believe that the more nonprofits that apply, the greater the impact we can make. We aim to elevate our nonprofit partners that combat homelessness in their communities. Using the power of film, we hope to foster greater empathy and compassion for those experiencing homelessness and inspire action in our audience.

The more viewers we reach, the more collaboration we can foster between them and our nonprofit partners to Break The No Address Cycle together.


What is the Red Carpet Screening, and how can we host one?
A Red Carpet Screening is a special event where your organization can host an exclusive screening of No Address at a theater in your community. It’s an excellent opportunity to engage your audience and raise empathy for those experiencing homelessness while also fundraising for your nonprofit.

We are currently in discussions with our distributor regarding the national distribution and Red Carpet Screening locations. While we do not have specific details to share at this time, we will promptly update our nonprofit partners once everything is confirmed. Please note that the distributor will determine the Red Carpet Screening locations.

Organizations accepted into the Big 5 GIVEBACK initiative will have the opportunity to express interest in hosting a Red Carpet Screening. However, acceptance into the GIVEBACK program does not guarantee to host a screening; it just guarantees that the nonprofit will receive its portion of the funding.


Are we expected to host a screening if we are approved?
No, hosting a screening is entirely optional. There is no obligation for you to do so if you are approved as a partner in The Big 5 GIVEBACK.

When will the movie be released?
No Address will be releasing in theaters nationwide on February 28th, 2025. Want to know when tickets go on sale? Click here to sign-up for our mailing list and be notified about ticket sales when details are released.

Can we view the film before it is released?
At this time, we are unable to share a full copy of No Address. Currently, No Address: A Novel is available for purchase and is an expansion of the film’s screenplay; you can find a copy here.

However, we want to provide you with insight into the film. No Address is a profound portrayal of the harsh realities faced by those experiencing homelessness and the deep sadness of an unfulfilled life. The film also powerfully conveys how love and the will to survive can bring hope and change. Inspired by true events, the screenplay aims to shed light on these issues and encourage collective action towards reducing homelessness.

The film highlights the pervasive problem of homelessness, which affects an ever-growing number of people each day. Despite the wide scope of this issue, individuals experiencing homelessness often face significant prejudice from their local communities, leading to further dehumanization. No Address seeks to change this narrative by showcasing the strength of family bonds, the fulfillment of hope, the restoration of lives, and the importance of second chances.

We believe that this inspiring and compelling film will motivate viewers to become more involved in efforts to alleviate homelessness in their communities. We invite you to view the trailer on our website to get a sense of the film's powerful message and emotional impact.

Of that, 50% will go to profit* participants and 50% to Robert Craig Films.
