'Jonah's Quids' is a short film that tells the story of Jonah - a 13 year old who lives on a South London estate. One day Jonah finds a £50 note, and decides to use it to take his friend, Crystal, on an all expenses paid day trip to his childhood favourite seaside town of Margate. Crystal is a couple of years above Jonah at school but lives near him on the estate and they are good friends who walk to school together.

Jonah is hoping to impress Crystal with this trip, but when they reach the seaside he soon realises that things aren't always the same as you remember them. The dodgem cars aren't there anymore, and it's not the bustling summer seaside town he knew from his childhood.

On the surface 'Jonah's Quids' is a simple tale of unrequited love, but at it's essence it is about a boy at the point when he realises that things really can't be as they once were. That they have to change. That you can't relive your childhood.

In simple terms - we are watching the point when Jonah starts to grow up.
