The Pebble and the Boy

The 19-year-old Mancunian, John Parker, embarks on a trip to Brighton, the spiritual cradle of the Mods, on an old Lambretta scooter given to him by his father.

Chris Green writes and directs 'The Pebble and the Boy'. Patsy Kensit, Ricci Harnett, Jesse Birdsall, Emma Stansfield, Sacha Parkinson, Christine Tremarco, Stuart Wolfenden, Charlotte Tyree, Jamie Lomas, Brian Croucher, Max Boast, Rick S. Carr, Patrick McNamee, Mark Sheals, James Mackie, Julian Clapton, Gary Mounfield, Charlotte Riley, Adam Nicholls, Chez Davis, Dylan Pinnell, Alice Kerrigan and, finally, Daniel Parkinson, Adele Fearn are the actors that make up the cast.

According to reviewer Peter Martin in Screen Anarchy, 'The Pebble and the Boy' "is a lovely, energetic film that explores what children do and do not know about their parents. The main draw for me is the music of Paul Weller; I remember buying every single that The Jam released in the 1970s, and followed Weller in The Style Council that followed, so his influence on the characters here, especially John's father, is notable and cheering. Very watchable for anyone who is interested in modern-day youth culture in the UK, 'The Pebble and the Boy' is nicely crafted and features pungent performances by Patrick McNamee as John Parker and Sacha Parkinson as Nicki, the rude girl with more than a bit of earned wisdom to dispense."
