Fifty - A short film by Jon Lee Barnes

“Wanna go for a pizza?”

A simple question, but one which could change Devin Silver’s life.

After a night out with his friends, Devin faces the choice of whether to go for food. He declines.

When Devin gets home, he receives a text showing a video of what would have happened if he’d have said ‘Yes’ - which didn’t end well.

The next day, Devin gets an email showing what would have happened if he’d have accepted his colleagues invitation to lunch - again it ends in tragedy.

What is the nature of these messages? How can Devin escape them?

The State Of youth today

The town of Crewe is on its arse.

Kids from kids from kids run rampant in the street, teachers re unable to do their jobs through fear of verbal and physical abuse, business owners have been run out of town, and there is an unwritten a 9pm curfew for anyone who looks over the age of 25.

Despite building activity, visibility, and arrogance over the past twelve months, Police are no closer to nailing a single member of the masked gang at the heart of this teenage crimewave - The Sea, but when Police Constable HENRY SILVER receives a tip off that this former high school is the target of an attack, he has less than a week to discover, understand, and stop them.

Are they victims of a broken home? A byproduct of broken Britain, or naughty little shits in need of law and order?
