Film: The Ellington Kid
The story is set in a typical South London kebab shop, where Nathan tells Beefy a story. It's a story he's heard about the Ellington kid, who got stabbed and found his into the very kebab shop they are sitting in. The gang who had attacked him follow him into the shop, wanting to finish what they started off and kill him. However they are confronted by three men who work in the kebab shop who defend the Ellington kid. These three men said to be from a rough part of a north african country and aren't scared of the gang. Flashbacks with the help of a voice over in the short film to help show the audience what happened in detail. These flashbacks are based upon Nathan's idea of what happened, which means that they may not be reliable. Nathan uses the idea of there being an urban myth towards the end when he tells his friend who is having a burger that some say the kebab shop workers killed the three gang members and that the meat was from the bodies as a joke. However, the short movie has what we call an open ending, as it ends with one of the kebab shop workers sharpening the knife they use to cut the meat, and smiling listening to Nathan and his friend, which then makes the audience think that it might be actually true and not an urban myth.
