EVERY FRIDAY AFTERNOON,TheJournal.ie presents an award-winning short film for you to enjoy as you ease into the weekend. This time round, we have a special spooky one for you…

This week: Free Chips Forever

This short film by Claire Dix is a touching and amusing story of a family’s brushes with the local chip shop. Becky and her dad have a plan; she keeps watch and the engine running while he robs chips and makes his getaway.

They only problem is her brother Tom who threatens to spoil the fun. Stick with this multi-award-winning Filmbase short until the final scene for a particularly enjoyable ending.
