No Fixed Address

A dark dramedy about coming of age crusty.

The series follows a group of transient crust punks trying to survive as they defend street corners, exploit drop-in centres and form makeshift family bonds.

Created & written by Natalie Catherine
Directed & produced by Brianne Nord-Stewart

The end of the month often finds Vancouver’s Downtown East Side (DTES) in haggard condition. AARON (21), his girlfriend LILY (19), younger brother DUSTY (17), along with their friends TYLER (20) and BRITT (19), must rely on street smarts, handouts from houses and each other in order to keep afloat until welfare cheque day.

No Fixed Address follows the sometimes touching, but mostly dysfunctional exploits of a patchwork street family who make up for their youth with years of haggard living.

The coming of age story— equal parts haggard and heartwarming — was inspired by the years series creator Natalie Catherine spent hopping freight trains and living “home free” among North America’s community of crust punks.
