A SHORT film directed by Jonny Madderson will be available online from the end of November called Five Stone of Lead with the subject being the adventures of a 12-year-old pony racing jockey Dylan who is tiny, even for a jockey. Since stepping up a level he has to compete against older, stronger jockeys with more experience and at the races at Glenbeigh he has the chance to make a name for himself.

The film is one of an independent series of true-life short films called Postcards which can be found online at postcards.justsolondon.com (launching end of November 2015).
