- Tow Comedy · 2026

Inspired by the true story of Amanda Ogle, TOW follows a homeless Seattle woman (Rose Byrne) living out of her car as she tries to rebuild her life and reconnect with her daughter. When her car is impounded and she’s hit with an outrageous $21,634 bill, Amanda’s fragile stability unravels. Forced into a women’s shelter, she finds strength in community and allies with a young attorney (Dominic Sessa) to take on the powerful towing company. With emotional honesty and grit, TOW explores the human cost of bureaucratic cruelty—and one woman’s fight to reclaim not just her car, but her dignity.
