12.02.2026

We are thrilled that Alfie Barker is one of six finalists for The Dream Makers short film contest. The Dream Makers is an international short film contest launched by CUPRA in collaboration with Studio Babelsberg, to support the next generation of cinematic storytellers by enabling and financing the production of the winning project. 

 

Alfie's short, THE ZEBRA, is inspired by a true story. Andrew becomes so obsessed with zebra's, he manages to persuade his mum to keep a real one in their house. 

 

The winning project will be announced at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival.
