It works for a bit, but later on, Sally and her son Sam Silver are evicted and are forced to live on the streets.

Homeless Sam & Sally – The Movie was originally intended to be a series for Binge Networks, but COVID-19-related production delays and a loss of footage led to the series being edited into a film.[3][5]

Clark recorded several songs for the film’s soundtrack, including the film’s theme song, “We Gotta Figure It Out,” which he wrote and performed with his co-star, Newborn.[6][7]

In 2019, the television series became available on Binge Networks and later, the film was added as well.[8][1][9]

The film was released on August 31, 2020 at film festivals throughout the United States. It had its worldwide premiere at the Couch Fest Films festival.[10]

Prior to its release on home video, the film was shown at film festivals such as the IndieX Film Fest,[11] the Asian Film Festival (August 2, 2020),[12] the World London Film Festival,[13] and the Prague International Film Festival.[5]

Roger Stone of FilmInk wrote, “This comedy tries to turn a sad story into a laughing matter, and I think they succeeded… With its deep storyline, the movie doesn’t want you to be sad for the characters, but instead sympathize with them and just have fun with their journey.”[14] In The Good Men Project, Eliana Peyton wrote, “The film’s over-the-top scenes [have] the feeling of yearning more hope for the characters, but it still leaves you a little bit of mystery… Tyrone really has an extremely clever storyline and knows the right amount of detail to express without giving too much of the story away.”[10]
