You're Gonna Wake Up One Morning (2003)
A must for all fans of punk - old and new.
I caught this at the Portobello Film festival and it went on to do well at a number of festivals, including the Rhode Island Oscar qualifier.
If you know Brighton, it's really satisfying watching this tale of teenage discovery played out on the famous seaside backdrop.
As new punks meet old punks - meets drugs and some dodgy party goers - two young people work out who they really are.
Peel away the Gothic clothes and facial piercings, designer baseball caps and preppy shirts and are all kids the same underneath?
There's the added twist of a mix up with a couple of mystery hardmen, but it's the relationship between the two supposedly incompatible kids that holds your interest.
The two leads (Cary Crankson and Julie Mayhew) are really engaging and easy to identify with - plus it's great to see a cameo from music legend Don Letts.
The soundtrack and music references will also please muso geeks!
Definitely worth a look.
