Pocket Money

2002NR9m7.3

A hard-cutting dramatic monologue through which the protagonist (Johnny) tells of his exploits as a car thief. The first of a trilogy of short films set and shot in Port Talbot.

Ebullient joyrider Johnny (Matthew Evans) relates the story of how he and his cool-headed cohort Tubbo (Roy Jones) steal a relatively worthless Ford Orion, an act that fails to impress young Johnny. Interspersed throughout the piece are frenetic flashbacks depicting Johnny joyriding in high-performance cars (the type of crime that Johnny would ordinarily see himself associated with. The piece ends ironically with the realisation that the Orion has been stolen 'to order' rather than for kicks.
