Folsom locations featured prominently in award-winning film about homelessness, now released for digital rental, purchase, and DVD
After a theatrical run and a celebrated local premiere earlier this year, the locally filmed feature No Address is now available for digital rental and purchase, along with its companion documentary Americans With No Address.
The highly acclaimed production, which addresses the reality of homelessness in America, was filmed throughout the Sacramento region—with many key scenes shot in Folsom—and is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, YouTube, Fandango at Home, and more. The film is also available for purchase on DVD at Walmart and Amazon.
Starring Grammy Award-winning artist Ashanti and produced by Robert Craig Films of Rocklin, No Address tells the stories of individuals experiencing homelessness, exploring themes of resilience, trauma, and redemption. With a 98% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes and multiple festival accolades, the film aims to spark national dialogue and inspire solutions.
“What drew me to No Address was its raw honesty,” said Ty Pennington. “This film doesn’t just tell a story, it gives people experiencing homelessness their dignity back. Being part of it reminded me how powerful a second chance can be, and how just believing in someone can change everything.”
Folsom played a central role in the visual landscape of No Address, with several local sites serving as key filming locations. These include the Bridge Community Church on Sibley Street, which was used for both the city mission chapel and activity center scenes.
A house on the 400 block of Sutter Street was featured as a main character’s Robert’s residence, while Folsom City Hall on Natoma Street was used to depict the mayor’s office. Other filming took place inside Cardwell Real Estate on Glenn Drive and at the Haven for Hope property on East Bidwell Street as well as the Granite School Building at 909 Natoma Street.
“We were able to show the whole country that we can make a full movie filming right here in the Sacramento region—they had everything we needed,” producer Robert Craig told Folsom Times at the local premiere.
Beyond Folsom, the production team captured a wide variety of scenes throughout the Sacramento area. Real encampments were used at 1001 Del Paso Boulevard and 2075 Barstow Street, while residential stories unfolded at 2409 Capitol Avenue and 2375 Cambridge Street. The WPA Rock Garden and Tower Theater in Land Park added atmosphere and historic character, and key alley scenes were shot near Del Paso Boulevard and Lochbrae Road.
Other local settings included the Salvation Army on Alhambra Boulevard, 320 Alhambra Boulevard for interior scenes, and additional scenes at the S-Tech and Nacht & Lewis buildings on Q Street. William Land Park, playgrounds, and overpasses rounded out the city’s versatile backdrops.
In Auburn, the film captured some of its most emotionally pivotal moments at visually rich locations that viewers will recognize immediately. These included the Gold Rush Museum and trains behind the Chinese Coolie Statue on Lincoln Way, the Auburn State Theater, and Springhill Suites. Interior and exterior scenes were also filmed at the McCann House, Foothills Motel, Pistol Pete’s Brew & Cue, Liquor Outlet, and All Wood Salvage Company—each helping shape the character-driven stories in the film.
West Sacramento’s Edible Pedal Bike Shop also served as a backdrop, along with scenic views near the River Access Road in Fair Oaks. The production extended as far as Rocklin for college campus scenes at Sierra College.
Real Stories Behind the Script
The film’s script, co-written by Julia Verdin and James J. Papa, draws from hundreds of interviews with people who have lived unhoused. “I wrote the script as a homage to those who have ended up on the streets,” said Verdin. “I have talked to people who had good lives and jobs and came from good families who through different misfortunes ended up on the streets.”
“You have people that are just like you and me, that had a job, they lost their job, or their rent went up and they flat out couldn’t pay it. I mean, most people are one or two paychecks away from homelessness,” Craig told Folsom Times while filming in Folsom.
Released alongside the feature film is the award-winning documentary Americans With No Address, which was filmed in 17 cities across the country and recently won “Best Documentary” at the 2025 Movieguide Awards. The project was created to examine root causes of homelessness and highlight real-world efforts to provide relief and hope.
“The overwhelming response to both the feature film and the documentary shows that Americans are not only connecting to these stories, but also searching for a deeper understanding and real solutions to this crisis,” said Jennifer Stolo, CEO and producer at Robert Craig Films. “With the streaming releases, we’ll reach more with our message of hope and urgent call to action.”
Where to Watch
