A Tyne Valley Film Festival screening presented by Hexham Community Partnership. See our full programme here. 

A whole decade before Get Carter would depict Tyneside’s gritty underworld to international acclaim, Payroll set the template with this overlooked Newcastle heist thriller.

The familiar winding streets and dramatic high and low levels of the city provide the perfect action setting as a vicious gang of crook’s plan to steal the wages of a local factory. When the factory unexpectedly employs an armoured van to carry the cash, the plan is botched and the men turn on each other in the ensuing fallout.

Prior to Payroll we are pleased to present Nails, a short action film made by Newcastle Film Club.
