- Two kids plan to buy cigarettes.
SHINEY is used with permission from Paul Holbrook. Learn more at paulholbrook.c....
Kayleigh and Ant are two impressionable kids who live on a council estate, hanging out and killing time. They trade player cards and are desperate to seem older and cooler than they are. With not much else to do, they decide one day to try to buy a pack of cigarettes, just like they've seen the older, cooler kids do.
They manage to rope in an older teen to get their cigarettes, and are willing to trade their precious and rare shiny gold player card to get it. They then put one over on their hapless "college boy," making off with the fabled pack of contraband without giving up their card. But when they're put in their place, their better instincts come to the fore, and they prove that despite their posturing, they're still just kids in the end.
Exuberant, fun-loving and mischievous, this short comedy - directed by Paul Holbrook with a script co-written with Graeme Willetts- is an ode to the spirit of restless, rebellious and very rude youth, as they explore the larger world and get into all sorts of hijinks. With a punky spirit and loads of energy, its style and panache bubble up into an ultimately sweet story of kids who can't help but be kids, despite all their efforts to the contrary.
The filmmaking itself is possessed of the spirit of saucy naughtiness, full of movement, music and energy and captured in vibrant, brightly vivid cinematography and a free-wheeling editing style. The soundtrack is influenced by reggae, dub and hip hop, which carries the action with a current of energy, following the misadventures of a pair of would-be juvenile delinquents.
Of course, Kayleigh and her sidekick are still kids, and the humor in the film comes from their interpretation of what being older looks and sounds like versus how it works for them in real life. They're desperate to be grown-up, but they have few resources to go about it, except for their much-valued shiny gold football card. Their dialogue crackles with their hilarious attempts to sound tough and cool, but what's also funny is how the writing captures the acidic, profane way the grownups talk to Kayley and Ant. (They learned it from somewhere, right?)
The performance of the small trio of young actors -- Katie Francis, Caleb Stevens and Toby Wright -- are all natural, lively and true to their characters. (All are also non-actors cast from the housing estate of the film's setting.) Kayleigh, as the leader and mastermind, has charisma, ideas and spark, and a natural sense of leadership. She has enough initiative and audacity to take over the world when she's older. But being young, she deploys her talents in the only arena available to her: the corner shop. Luckily, as they discover that there's no rushing getting older, she and her friends learn to accept where they're at -- and enjoy being a kid just a bit longer.
For any adult who laments that "kids never go outside anymore," SHINEY is a gleefully irreverent riposte to that perhaps overly simplistic admonition. The narrative captures the exhilaration and frustration of learning to flex your independence and make a mark on the world. Sure, Kayleigh and company may pick a dodgy aim as their first steps into getting older and cooler. But the wisdom of discernment happens with more years, more experience... and learning to enjoy where you're at in life, no matter what the stage.
This was a fun film and really beautifully shot. I was impressed by the kids' acting; they even seemed more natural playing their roles than the older teenagers. Loved the ending, that's the sort of character growth that gives me hope in people.
The rap hits. Hard
yeah but itsd gonna get bad...
Fr
bro when i saw those older kids who were supposed to be cool i guess. I laughed so hard
Or did u
Same
Me too xd
Lol omfg
UK cool
I know for a fact if anyone wore a beanie that said "bad girl" in ANY school would definitely get picked on 💀💀
They lucky they ain't in the US schools 💀💀💀
Shes my cousin 💀shes probably gonna see this and if she does she hopefully wont know who it is
Right thats what i said
@@rxinpharoah it be worst in uk high schools
@@motherfingleila if she’s your cousin why you aren’t famous then?
this is the most British thing I’ve ever seen TY FOR THE LIKES and it is in Britain and we do say mate in Britain

True lol
@TJ Formica Joseph would be lost
This isn’t really how the uk is but ok
So much very bri ish
"are you grounded?" "yes" "are you still coming out tho?" "yeah of course"
My man
we heard
Nowadays that’s a punishment for kids
@@knifecapone2839 yeah I couldn’t agree more lol nowadays kids my age and younger just take advantage of punishments we go out even if our parents tell us not to go out
A real one
The girl is really good at acting.
Pretty sure she's had little or no training too. She turned up to one of the local auditions in Hartcliffe. She was great
could of been a character we never knew we needed in the The Inbetweeners
Thankyou so much !
Right off the Bat little Greta Thornberg was more upset at knowing that Cigarette smoke was tearing up the environment than not getting her way.
agreed she was great
This low key would be a good show
I'd buy it and watch it
thought it was, disappointed its not
Deadass
True
Remember when kids could run around outside, like normal people, and get into trouble and have fun?
I know right!? This brought back memories of when I was this age, sitting in front of the little store with my friends 'smoking' candy cigarettes and drinking a Mistic (because the bottles looked similar to wine coolers) and we'd sit there thinking we looked so cool 😎😆
I'm only 16, but I'm an 80s teen at heart so I really wish that we still were able to that. Everything's so gender/political biased now smh I wish we were still allowed to have fun
@@joshualevistudios you ARE. You’re a kid, go out and have fun and get into a bit of trouble. Don’t believe that nonsense.
@@keatonscreations True, but last time I tried, I got fired from my summer job 😬😬
still do but always escape.
I'm glad they added the nerdy kid to their crew.
i thought the other dude was also “nerdy”
“I’ll get the FBI on you!”
Not even British people know what the hell the MI5 is.
Ikr they're so secretive that even the British people don't know crap about them
MI5 not M15

Hello everyone, I'm Katie Francis and I'm the girl who place the character of Kayleigh. Thankyou for all the comments and I'm trying to respond to all of them!
proud of you !!!!!!! 💞
Your so good at acting! You should really be in a movie!
you were all very impressive. Great short. Get them to release the song at the end!
New subscriber
nice job!
How does that girl have 50 years of experience acting!? :O
no they are not on about me they are on about the man who plays the shop keeper!
@@katiecf123 very well done, kudos to you and the team that made that. I think the song deserves a release.
@@katiecf123 why is that i think this is the real channel buh it probably aint on fn
@@2grimeyyjay I'm sorry I don't understand?

the fact that they rap so much better than adults-
Actual freestyle talent
@@jormama6677 not tryna be rude but ion think its a freestyle
@@smurfballs96 yeah its probably been rehearsed but its still cool
That fact is what?
Ye
that "popular" group lowkey would all get bullied if they acted like that in the us
I was thinking the exact same thing. They would not do so hot in US schools as well... kids nowadays are very mean and honest. 😭
@@Elizabeth-ih2ff as us schools go "every man and woman for themselves"
@@Elizabeth-ih2ff and in Canada as well. Only the kids though
@@Elizabeth-ih2ff they wouldn’t survive in any school. “Popular” kids aren’t like that in the uk
any school really.
Omeleto indeed provide the world's best short films. Salute !!
Hoorah ❤
This one is horrible though. Bad Agenda.
No
They make the best short films making kids say words that are very inappropriate during acting
@@imgreepcreepergraveyard2933 its part of their job tho
This could have been a tv series
Agree
Agree lmao
Ikr
Agreed indeed
For real
My dad once asked me to get him a pack of cigarettes when i was young and the guy's face at the shop was priceless. Those kids did right not trying to get a pack again in the end.
Omg the acting in this is so on point

0:25
DISGUSTANG
lmao!
Completely different accents, this was somewhere in England.
It's film is not about smoking but how should we treat others. Like the girl corrected her mistakes by giving that 16 old boy a shiny card. She got mistreated by older teenages then she realised how she must have make that boy feel by doing same what others do to her
it's more about what it means to be grown up
I made it 60 likes
i feel bad for people that smoke at a young age and that even started smoking anyways, they're wrecking their bodies from the inside and it's eating them out alive..
Big problem here in Indonesia. Hell, a 5 year old could easily buy ciggs anywhere here.
I dont feel bad for em its their own fault
I mean this entire short movie seems like a let's take the piss out of the working class movie. And considering the average I assume the director did not come from the working class
@@Melon_studios Hi, the director here. I am actually from the estate where the film is set. We made the film to give the kids from the estate an opportunity to experience and gain an insight into the film industry. We hoped to tonally make something that was fun and vibrant over resorting to the usual cliches of dull and depressing!
and that they actually get pleasure out of it. Its bad enough its bag for you, it could at least make you feel good... like booze or weed.
😂 That was awesome! I remember buying cigarettes when I was a kid, they were $1.80 and they were for “my mom” 😆 My friends and I got sick after smoking, I never smoked again 😝
LMAO
Wish I would have gotten sick like you did
when i started smoking, cigs were 50 cents a pack and they didnt card you
i wish they had carded
I remember when cigs were 75cents .I used to get them for the neighbor. I was seriously shocked that they were charging $13 for a pack of 20. Im so glad I never smoked
when i was a kid, smokes were $1 per pack. My dad would send me to the store to get him some and would give me an extra $1 for candy. I'd buy two packs.
Do adults in England actually threaten kids with the FBI? 😂
Word right like don't they have MI6 or something?
No it’s more “I’ll call the feds on you” 😂
No
I’m half English. It’s almost always “I’ll call the coppers on you, I will!”
No
"go play in traffic or something" every estate road
Wtf? This could have been soo much longer & more!!!
It's a short film. If it's considerably longer, it'll be a movie.
@@cahidijoyoraharjo7833 yes
Lol this brought back so many memories of me and friends trying to get people to buy us cigarettes, vodka and 40s. We probably looked like absolute idiots but we were having the time of our lives
Um??
@Cynthia Martinez lmao honey I’m THRIVING, far from “throwing my life away” 😂
imagine not having strict parents, couldn’t never b me
We're you ever successful with getting and smoking the cigs?
This felt more like a movie scene than a short film 😂 in a good way
Thank you to our amazing cast for telling this lovely story. Very happy it's being seen and enjoyed!
Dang I wish that was longer . I kinda enjoyed it lol
The rap at the end is pretty good lol
Mate so true
yeah um.... no this rap is dog sh
not at all what am i hearing
@@iconipad5209 nah
Its bad
These kids are going places especially the girl!!!!
@Will Brown Facts
Thankyou!!
Can we just talk about the fact that walked and rarely ride on their bike😆😂
That’s all the *cool kids*
This is the best British accent ever
4:45 this bit killed me 😂
The mans reaction is me when I get woken up in the morning lol
Yo that rap was🔥 reminding me of slick rick💯

@@stevenprinsen9034 yes !
@@katiecf123 That so cool!! Do you know if i can listen to it anywhere else, like... Spotify? That flow is satisfying to listen to.
This is just wonderful. They captured that age so well. It's just like Boyhood or Ladybird, but better! It made me feel like a kid again... and it's been a few decades.... :))
*kids being happy and racing down the street laughing on bikes* someone: aww. they are really bout to get some cigars
The young and British version of jay and silent bob at the quick stop.
The ending was unexpected in the greatest way
So proud of you Katie !!!!!!!! This is amazing 💞
Thankyou!
Amazing time filming this , Shared everywhere! would recommend this page to everyone
Oh hey Harvey I'm binge reading all the comments and responding just jeep putting I PLAY KAYLEIGH
While I don’t find this entirely accurate, it’s absolutely hilarious 😂
Kids change behavior and friends at the drop of a hat. Loved it, the shopkeeper added to the film too.
The fact that this is free on TH-cam is amazing
"good evening"
What's up! Lol
Good morning.
morning good
Good ebening
Nerd
I always love films like these.

Thankyou. -Katie Francis (Kayleigh).
The end was FIREEEEE!!! 13:15
Since I went to high school I actually learned how disrespectful kids can be towards their parents.
The ending is so dope
If this was a series i would watch, great short
Awe bruh Love from South Africa 🇿🇦🌹
The way she walk away from home after dispute by her mom with annoyed face, then smiling when she trought the corner its very deep (she choiced its own day to go on)
This short was really good, glad I watched it!
If I'm being honest the teens who dumped water on the girl kinda deserved it
But the question is, who will dump water on theirs?
Haha ! - Katie Francis (Kayleigh).
Loved this 😊Every time they went in the shop I wanted to shout 'Wheres Janice, Les? Hope these actors do some more.
Well done, Mr. Holbrook. Very impressive little film. A joy to watch.
She not only has talent for acting but she can hold her bar and spit!!
Glad I grew up at a different time and space than this. Bullying at this level was not heard of
Don’t worry we don’t actually think smoking is cool
@@jackalz4749 agree, but there are people who think it is :/
Omeleto is the best and finest in this genre of short films...some of the best work I've seen are from this forum...keep up the immaculate end work!!🏆🏆🏆🎥🎞📽🎬
Only Harry Potter fans recognized “She looks like Hagrid”
I did lol
Nah, I hate Harry Potter and I recognised it. That's like saying "Only fans of British Royalty recognise Prince William".
This was nice short film. Keep them coming
OMG, a comedy with preteens that doesn't end in tragedy!
cant believe the uk still allows 16 year olds to buy cigs
The video is factually incorrect. Since 2007 you have to be 18 to buy cigarettes in the UK.
@@Sparx632 The film is set prior to 2007. There's a clue playing on the radio in the background of the shop scenes ;)
its australia
@@visus9604 It's not Australia.
@@visus9604 bruh thats deffo not Australia
I didn't know that kids could buy cigarettes at 16, I think they are still young at that age. I was surprise.
England
16 isn't that young and their not kids anymore their adults
@@antoniofonseca2713 you’re probably 16 lmaooo
@Tom Piper Beats your a young adult not a kid
@@zvxoxo I'm younger
Lighthearted British comedy.
"Piss off she looks like Hagrid"
I don't think people would be ashamed to look like him, well I would'nt
I can sum up this video: Dope.
14:21 the rap 🔥🔥
Ikr
She literally walked her bike when she could of rode on it
Ayo that's my friend lol its finally came out
Hey lol
@@katiecf123 Bruh everyone in the comments loves you
@@grammarpolice2714 Yeah I know, I play Kayleigh!
Some great acting and cinematography in this movie
This video gives me a lot of inspiration for a Wattpad story...
When they were chillin outside the shop i got extreme jay n silent bobs vibes
Same :D
This is a really great video. It reminds me of being a kid and wanting to be older and be like "the cool kids"
But now looking back I wish time
Had slowed down, And I could have savored those years more.
I will pay netflix and omeleto to make a series of these kids for 10 million dollars
Music reminds me of The Streets, really takes me back.
This needs to be a show ASAP!!
Bruh I love how they just put it in their mouth lol
That was the funniest thing I've seen in a while lol 🤣
this rap is soo good in the end i swear!!!!
the song at the end is fire!!!!!
Imagine if Gordon Ramsay was the shopkeeper
Bro they did my man’s like that they didn’t give him his shiny
Whats a shiney
@@samuelcrookes5236 it’s a type of card

Why do I watch this everyday 😭😭
You live in a society that's why now get used to it.

If I’m being honest, that rap at the end was pretty cool
I hope there is a part 2 😌
