Money Up, dir. Dhillon Shukla, UK 2021, 5 min. 26 sec.


Money Up follows Reece, 13, throughout his day. From waking up, with nothing but a mountain of coppers to his name, he needs to hustle his way to having enough to buy the girl of his dreams dinner on their date after school. The film captures the spirit, grit, and resilience of young Londoners in a light-hearted and poetic tone.
