The Concept

Shelter. A place that keeps us safe. That protects us from danger. And that’s often defined not by physical space, but by the people you share it with.

“Give Me Shelter” follows a quirky but fearless street youth as he corrals an eclectic band of homeless residents into convincing a wealthy donor group to save the city’s most necessary homeless shelter.

In the vein of “Orange is the New Black,” “Atypical“, and “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest“, “Give Me Shelter” shines a light on one of America’s most pressing problems—homelessness. Through a healthy serving of humor, heart, and research, Shelter aims to tackle this poignant issue in an unflinching and heartfelt manner.
