Award winning filmmaker Dean Midas, best known for his horror shorts, is embarking on a surprising new direction this spooky season.
Alfie’s Dream is a family-friendly, comedy short film that combines the themes of zombies and football.
The cast is mainly made up of kids from around the North East of England.
It was written by personal trainer, actor and support artist, Gordon Hindson, who has worked with stars including Stephen Graham, Pierce Brosnan and Sheridan Smith.
The rip-roaring script is full of juvenile jokes, jolly japes and lots of family-friendly zombie action.
Mr Midas said: “After years of creating scares, I wanted to be part of something special that my own family and a younger audience could enjoy.”
The release of Alfie’s Dream showcases the versatility of the director and offers a refreshing new perspective from the County Durham filmmaker.
The film features a fantastic cast of young north east actors alongside Libby Walker, who recently appeared in Coronation Street and The Dumping Ground and Michael Wilson-Dukes, who was in Inspector George Gently, Vera and The Paradise.
Out now, Alfie’s Dream is available to watch for free on YouTube via Dean Midas Films.
