An award-winning filmmaker and a talented North East writer are joining forces for a new short film project.
Dean Midas and Gordon Hindson have announced their latest collaboration, following the success of their recent family comedy-horror short, Alfie's Dream.
Mr Midas, from Willington, County Durham, said: "The new film will start production in January.
"Expect another fun, spooky ride."
Alfie's Dream tells the story of a football-loving boy who faces off against a team of zombie footballers.
Written by Mr Hindson, the film featured a cast primarily of young North East actors and is available to watch for free on YouTube.
The lighthearted comedy-horror marked a departure from Mr Midas’s usual horror shorts, blending his directorial style with Mr Hindson’s family-friendly storytelling.
Mr Hindson said: "I am blown away by the success of Alfie's Dream.
"I was only expecting views of around 500, but as we speak it is currently nearer 7,000 views across all platforms."
