Inspired by the true story of Amanda Ogle, played by Rose Byrne, an unhoused woman living in her blue 1991 Toyota Corolla as she seeks employment in Seattle. A towing company takes her car and demands exorbitant fees she can’t afford. Refusing to accept this injustice, she confronts the broken system to fight for her vehicle as well as her dignity. Director Stephanie Laing crafts a script about resilience through an authentic portrayal. The cast also includes Octavia Spencer, Dominic Sessa, and Demi Lovato.
At the party, guests enjoyed elevated hospitality, curated libations, and culinary surprises alongside industry networking and film celebration. Renewing sponsors in 2025 included official spirits partner Hendrick’s Gin, which showcased specialty cocktails made for the events using their portfolio of unusual gins crafted from eleven premium botanicals and famously infused with rose and cucumber, giving the spirit its uniquely balanced flavor, resulting in an exceptionally smooth, distinctive gin.
