Jayme Keith

Grimey is an inner city, coming of age short film that follows the titular character and his young crew of degenerate friends as they spend a summer day and night together in their city. The film depicts an idling, ne'er-do-well youth, their bad habits and the consequences to their disorderly decisions. Grimey is a prime example of the youth being wasted on the young.

Page (Jayme Keith) is involved in a bizarre corner of Toronto's black market, one devoted to the sale of young women's bodily fluids and dirty underwear. That, of course, is a very polite way of describing her arrangement with Ray (Roger Bainbridge), her increasingly high-strung connection to this little-known trade for fetishists. Page's understandable reticence about divulging her source of income creates an atmosphere of mistrust in her relationship with boyfriend Rennie (Ryan Arnold). When not sullenly riding his bicycle through town or working on paintings in his apartment, Rennie tries to get Page to open up.

A young couple sings from their apartment windows about the unshared bagel that ended their relationship. Part of the Seven Sins film project.
