'INFECTIOUS NIHILISM AND SMALL METALLIC PIECES OF HOPE' by JAMES PRICE - www.priceyfilms.com/
"Graeme Armstrong genuinely is one of the most important voices to come out of Scotland ever, not just in recent years. He is one of the most intelligent, generous and thoughtful people I have ever worked with and I wanted to make sure he was on set for the shoot so I cast him in it. I originally was going to act in it with him but we only had two days to shoot it so I pulled out last minute. Beyond his writing, his acting was fantastic and really authentic. I love working with non-actors and Graeme did not disappoint, it was strange for both of us being back in a fabricated version of an environment we used to know so well. His instincts from a filmmaking standpoint were also really stellar, every idea he had during the shoot turned out to be the best parts of the short film."

Whoever made this has got gold on there hands this wasFucking braw man this needs a full film top class boys well done
The only short film that I can recall that I actually wanted to see a full feature done. Nice Job!
We know James is hard at work on multiple projects at the moment so hopefully it won't be too long until we see a feature from him.
This would make a better film than the Sweet Sixteen or Neds films from back in the day
I mind my first time being at a gaff like that as a Waen, when yer young like that and heavy socially awkward its a big ego boost to be included like that especisly by the older folks there but its so easy to just get sucked into it man.Watched so many mates and folks in my year spend their whole lives just sat in gaffs too oot their nut to function, nothing going and nae futures
Nail on the head is the old expression well done whoever made this short film hats off guys
I grew up on a council estate in a rough part of the North East. I was a "charva" in my teens. I remember being welcomed into environments like these. You had to walk on eggshells a lot of the time because when people are full of trauma and drinks/drugs, then can get paranoid and turn on you in a heartbeat. I got into metal and alternative music as I got a bit older, so I'm now an ex-chav "mosher" or whatever you want to call it. The same people that used to welcome me look at me like I'm a softie that they can intimate. I try to avoid trouble cos I'm outnumbered most of the time, but it's a weird 360 that because I've moved subcultures, I'm no longer a friend, I'm a target.
‘If you weren’t a Ned you were a victim’
Nah that’s not true man, you pick your friends, you pick what you do, me and my pals just went skating, kept away from that shit while it was all kicking off
Grown men getting nostalgic about being silly little uneducated lowlife thugs, it’s pathetic, probably haven’t ever grown up either, they’re now dads fighting with people in the pub
Bang on, sad twats with no sense. They think they'll never get hurt & when they do, especially in Scotland it's life changing injuries. When will it end? Where are the parents? I was born to 2 total scumbags, one of 10 kids. I vowed to myself a long time ago that I'll be the change in my generations and bring up valuable members of society. This film is painful to watch, I don't think I could re live a full feature. Shit, i must've grown up.
Yer prob a sasanach then
Spot on mate
@@micoolkidfilms3270you even finish school pal
@@lucabrasi3964 ofc a have and soon I’ll be making 50k a year
Ahhhhh the historical “handing down” of the merapeak jacket. Would bring a tear to a glass eye.
In all seriousness though I used to love the Young Team days.
Brilliantly done, hard hitting and on the money
Absolutely fkin class...definitely needs a full movie!
Gets ya thinking 🤔 🏴🧡
James Price is definitely a filmmaker to keep an eye on. He's got a 60 min film called 'Dog Days' starring Peter Mullan on iPlayer atm www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001sk36/dog-days-dog-days-60minute-version
Good insight into a youths road to drugs drink and Ned culture . Been waiting on some sort of follow up from Graham after reading the young team . And was elated to discover the audio book that’s was actually read by Graham himself . Well done guys ⭐️👏
James has a great knack of tapping into his character's journeys. You should definitely check out his other films directorsnotes.com/tag/james-price/
This is some video You've put together here, Dude! I like! 👍
Had some of the worst and best days of my life in gaffs like that
Reading The Young team the noo, wondered if anything guid on youtube, stuck this on an theres Graeme, a woulda loved this to be longer. Great work by all, "we stand united".
Brilliant, the legendary John McKenzie would be proud.
amazing wee film
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Thos wer the days 😅 well done great wee film 🎥

Outstanding 🙏

However.......we as Glaswegians.....NEED to get away from the "NO MEAN CITY" label.....it's boring AF now!
Jamie and others just keep it being perpetuated........time to move on!
Jamie....if you read this wee man......no harm meant.......but do something different mate....think outside the box.
We get it....."Glaswegians are mental".......so what????....loads of cultures are mental.
Do something completely different.......and move us on!
@@hangedman821 a totally valid viewpoint but we'd say that James is just doing what many other filmmakers have done before him and making films about what he knows. From our interview:
"Me and Graeme both have remarkably similar backgrounds, we were both involved in Scotland’s gang culture. Graeme was based in Airdrie and I was based in Springburn in the North of Glasgow."
If he were an outsider making this film that could definitely be seen as perpetuating stereotypes.
@@DirectorsNotes
Fair enough mate...I get what you're saying.
You know what you know.........right?
MY POINT IS.....VIOLENCE ISN'T ALL WE KNOW!
And it's LAZY TO THINK IT IS!
We also know how to do what is right!!!.........
But I understand we are what we eat...whether through the mouth or brain.
And if we're eating the "We're mental Glaswegians!".......our youth are going to aspire to that.......
Instead of small metallic pieces of hope....we should have some MENTALLIC pieces of hope : )
Something that stimulates our thinking to ....DO WHAT IS RIGHT!
Anyways....all the best!
Very well said. Stick around and we'll definitely have films of a different tenor for you to check out.
This honestly got my adrenaline and blood pumping watching this video, it just reminds me of how I was when I was younger hanging about with the older wans, drinking, sniffing gear, popping sweeties in random cunts gaffs. Many a good memory but many a bad one as well, it can turn violent in an instant.
Mad that I noticed it was Airdrie high street straight away only 10 minutes away from me.
Im sat watching this at 03.37 on the 16th of February and was blown away by it.......Just Saying ❤
Thanks for watching, glad to hear the film made a strong impression on you!
I liked the mirrored / flipped shots of the same landscapes at the end. it wasnt just the same shot with him walking in the opposite direction, it sort of showed his visual, with a whole reversal of the scene, obviously to represent him contemplating his life n that sort of buisness.
Really well spotted! Glad that symbolism resonated with you!
Salty buns .
If you were not a ned then you were a victim back in the days I wouldn’t change it but when I look back we had fun but the ned style is extinct now 😮… Southside was full of neds and from nitshill pollok priesthill was just adventure
I caught the tail end of the madness early 00s good times
🎉😂
Indeed pollok born n bread aka the young team side ......good.ol days of the mera peak jackets etc bit of nostalgia there hahaha
@@only_one_renegade6128 F the PYT ya wee dafty
@@AlbertAnastasia. 😂😂😂😂
Where’s Brian Lamont..
Grassin
Thats airdrie!! 😂
When was this filmed mate? Are you guys from here?
The good old days how I miss been young again this brings back memories 😊
🤙
Watching this as an American without subtitles…so they don’t speak English in Scotland?🤣
this is something i see happen to alot of people i know that used to be nice but fell in with the wrong crowd in scotland edit: obviously this had to be set in airdrie
Black hill?
Back in early 2000s was mainly like 20 of us in bridgeton getting pissed down at the green or in someones gaff wasn't any old men though never touched drugs though other than booze and hash never compelled me to touch the dodgy stuff even when asked it was some fun times but looking back was also fucking stupid
Fucking samurai sword 😂😂😂
That isn't Pollok !
This is pretty much how my generation grew up in Pollok🤯
That's the director's and writer's backgrounds too!
Same born and dragged up in Greenock here.
Thts glesga m8 , tht jacket will get blagged 😂😅 a red n yella mera peak 😮 thos wer the jackets to have 🎉
Airdrie 👍🏻
Well there's 11 minutes I'll never get back !
Wit a load a guff 🤣
Well in lads. Which scheme(s) was this film shot in?
We know from our interview that growing up Graeme was based in Airdrie and James was based in Springburn. Not sure where exactly they shot this though.
the house is Coatbridge but the outside scenes are at Airdrie at top cross. not 100% sure what field that is though.
@@scottf6920 ryder mains road Glenmavis airdrie is where he came out every day
@@scottf6920it’s the Cairnhill/Calderbank Road in Airdrie at the end, overlooking the fields between Calderbank and Carnbroe
Violence has been rising since 2014? Youth gang violence is gone. 🤔
Which is it?
Definitely hasn't mate, dunno what cave you're hiding in. You probably vote SNP as well who have caused the increase
Lol no it isn't. I'm a youth worker in Glasgow and i can tell you it's alive a and well.
@@robroberts9051 I dont see teenagers running around wearing Berghaus jackets brandishing a machete this isnt the 2000s anymore gang violence is gone. lol
@@robroberts9051 dennistoun was pretty hardcore, just round the corner from me.
CLOCKED THAT BOTTLE OF VINOS FULLA BLACKCURRANT DILOOTING JUICE🤣
