Small Time / Where's the Money Ronnie! Shane Meadows

Low-budget comedy drama made by British director Shane Meadows at the outset of his career. Filmed on a Nottingham council estate in the mid-1990s, the film follows the ups and downs of a group of friends as they scrape a living from ducking, diving and stealing anything that comes to hand. Also included is the 1996 short 'Where's the Money Ronnie!', the gritty 12-minute comedy in which Meadows introduced the ideas and characters that would later be developed in 'Small Time' and his later film 'Once Upon a Time in the Midlands' (2002).
