Warp Films and Domino presents Scummy Man, a short film inspired by the Arctic Monkeys’ recent single When The Sun Goes Down. The film shows the relationship between a fifteen year old prostitute and one of her nastier punters. Just Another Day looks at the same events from a different perspective, so they take on different meanings, plus the original promotional video for the track. The bars fill up with lairy boozers anticipating drunken frolics in nightclubs, whilst on the edge of town in leafy suburbia Mum and Dad settle down to their Chinese takeaways and Pop Idol phone-ins. Meanwhile, couples stroll arm in arm to see the latest Hollywood shit flick, with plans hatched to see the family for Yorkshire puddings at three the next day. . . And the mind wanders to those who slip between the cracks of the surface in the City at night - the underclass, or those who don't walk beneath the neon lights of the high street shop fronts. These are the people who lurk in the dark shadows over the river going out of town. It's a world where girls roam the streets, out of sight and out of mind of the moral majority. Nina (Lauren Socha) is easy to find. She is on an industrial estate, near the gas tower. she is fifteen, addicted to drugs and on the game. George (Stephen Graham) is one of her nastier punters. His arrival turns the temperature up on her already combusting life. He is the scummiest of scummy men, someone you really don't want to be involved with, at all. A magician and a taxi driver offer Nina a quick fix, but doesn't everyone want something in return? She won't take it lying down.
