No Address

No Address is a gripping journey of living without walls and rising above them. Starring Lucas Jade Zumann, Beverly D’Angelo, Isabella Ferreira, William Baldwin, Xander Berkeley, Ty Pennington, Kristanna Loken, Patricia Velasquez, and Ashanti, this powerful film dares you to believe in second chances.

Highlighting the human side of homelessness, "No Address vividly portrays that “homelessness could happen to anyone.” This movie is an exploration of hope, humanity, and resilience as characters navigate challenges with no physical address.

Robert Craig Films is deeply committed to addressing the urgent issue of homelessness and has pledged 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.

MY REVIEW: I have mixed feelings on this movie. On the positive side, it brings attention to the many factors that lead to homelessness. The movie opens with a teenager who is aged out of the foster care system with no place to go. But the film also includes a full range from that to gambling and alcoholism. The main focus is 5 homeless people who bond into a family, but other stories are told of others who find themselves suddenly homeless. Very good actors keep the viewers interested in what happens to the characters. 

It was a satisfying ending for me, yet some of it seemed unrealistic, which was a negative for me. However, it DID leave me thinking more about homelessness. I do love that Robert Craig Films is donating some of their profits to organizations who combat homelessness and providing resources. I do recommend watching "No Address."

Americans With No Address

Americans With No Address is a documentary that investigates the homeless crisis in America and captures the untold stories of those experiencing homelessness while at the same time trying to find answers to the problem.

The Americans With No Address team is on a mission to raise awareness and offer solutions to homelessness in America. Through a comprehensive five-production approach, including the documentary "Americans With No Address" and the feature film "No Address," which will be coming to theaters nationwide on February 28th. 

The Documentary came about first to ensure the accuracy of the “No Address” fea
ture film; the production team toured the country for several weeks, visiting and filming interviews in 20 major cities across 18 states facing various rates of homelessness and interviewed over 175 people. Those interviews inspired the documentary "Americans With No Address," which captures the essence of what is causing the homeless crisis and portrays what solutions have been implemented and proven to show positive changes.

My Review: This documentary is a vital resource to not only understanding more about homelessness today, but also to gain knowledge about organizations that are working on needs and solutions.  Some believe that homelessness is due to poor decisions, drug use, mental illness, etc. Yet we have seen many recently displaced through fires, floods, hurricanes, and other unexpected events. Not everyone has the money to start over or family/friends who can take them in temporarily. This doc can help you to become part of the solution of this growing problem.

Church People DVD


 CHURCH PEOPLE is a Christian comedy about the megachurch megaproduction sub-culture and getting back to the simplicity of the Gospel. The film has a powerful message about rediscovering your passion for Christ. Starring Christian comedian Thor Ramsey, Erin Cahill, Michael Monks, Stephen Baldwin, Donald Faison, and Joey Fatone (NSYNC), this is the first feature film directed by Christopher Shawn Shaw. The DVD has just been released! Buy yours at https://churchpeoplefilm.com/#buy
 

MY REVIEW: Church People is one of my favorite films! Not only does it have many hilarious moments, but it also has a significant message that resounds with me. I don't often cry in movies, but this one deeply touched me. It brings the viewer back to the heart of worship and the true meaning in the message of the Cross.

When Church People was released in 2021, one of the major concerns and questions I saw was, "Does this movie mock Christians and megachurches?" Absolutely not!! It does address the "rock star" celebrity that sometimes takes over, but it does so with love and a huge dose of humor. And reminds us that the simple message of the gospel has an eternal impact on the lives of others... even without smoke machines, swag, stunts, and superstar leaders.

I love all of the actors involved, the writing is fantastic, wonderful soundtrack, and the director is amazing! (Trivia: Director Christopher Shawn Shaw makes a cameo as a stagehand.) Scroll down to read a synopsis of "Church People."

SYNOPSIS: Guy has been on a tour to promote his new book, but begins, encouraged by his money-focused agent, to embrace the gimmicks over the gospel to bring in the crowds. Burned out, he returns back to his church and his duties as the Youth Pastor.

But, Pastor Skip Finney, the tie-dye wearing lead pastor who loves bringing in crowds by coming up with new stunts and ideas, has gone too far with his newest crowd-baiting scheme for Good Friday.

Blaise, a zealous new Believer in Youth Group, is determined to be a part of Pastor Skip's dangerous and blasphemous scheme much to Guy's dismay. Then there's the unexpected love interest in the Senior Pastor’s daughter and being a new father to his grown daughter.
You've also got Joey Fatone as the Worship Leader AND rival for the affections of Carla, Stephen Baldwin as the ultimate church greeter, plus William Baldwin and Chynna Phillips as clueless parents.

Guy ultimately rediscovers and puts on a powerful presentation of why we all need to put our hope in Jesus and not in ourselves.

Church People

Weary from the showiness and materialism that has


overtaken his ministry efforts, Guy (Thor Ramsey) goes on a journey to get back in touch with the heart of ministry and be a real role model to his youth group kids. He makes the difficult decision to cut short his speaking tour managed by his money-focused agent (Donald Faison) after realizing that his reputation has become more fame based than Gospel-driven.

But when Guy attempts to return to regular youth ministry, he is thrust into the throes of dissuading the youth group from performing a strange and potentially blasphemous stunt for the upcoming Easter service, starring a young, zealous new Believer, Blaise. In attempting to manage his youth group while navigating an unexpected love interest in the Senior Pastor’s daughter (Erin Cahill) and being a new father to his grown daughter, Guy ultimately rediscovers and puts on a powerful presentation of why we all need to put our hope in Jesus and not in ourselves.




MY REVIEW: Church People is a film I have been looking forward to and it lived up to my hopes. A laugh-out-loud comedy that touches on some absurdities but also highlights the heart of the message of following Jesus. While most of the action and humor of the film are exaggerations, there is a problem in some ministries with "rock star" personalities who can develop a cult-like following, losing focus on the simple message of salvation. Thor Ramsey is wonderful as the Youth Pastor who sincerely wants to teach about Christ, but finds himself getting caught up in his own popularity.


Pastor Skip Finney (Michael Monks) is the tie-dye wearing lead pastor who loves the crowds and coming up with new stunts and ideas to fill every seat in his huge church. When he goes too far with a Good Friday/Easter production idea, it's up to Guy Sides (Ramsey) to try to bring Pastor Skip and his encouragers back to the heart of worship and the true meaning of the message of the cross. Toss in a romantic interest with the pastor's daughter, a rival (Joey Fatone), a zealous new Believer, and the unexpected reunion with his long-lost daughter... and chaos ensues.

You've also got Stephen Baldwin as the ultimate church greeter, plus William Baldwin and Chynna Phillips as clueless parents. Director Christopher Shawn Shaw pulls all of the characters together into a fun tale I enjoyed watching. As with all good satire, there is some truth mixed in with the exaggerations, and a lesson to be learned. Church People has also been selected as 1 of 5 films nominated for a "K-LOVE Fan Award" for Best Film and Television Impact.
