This fantastical Rob Sarkies short film unravels largely inside a girl's brain, where an imperious 'dream director' (Louise Petherbridge) and her technicians create a new nightmare, using an advert for Germo toilet cleaner as inspiration. Suzie (Carlee Brook) is so scared she avoids using her grandparents' loo. Meanwhile her subconscious dream team are planning their best production yet. Winner of an award at an experimental festival in Madrid, Dream-Makers mixes horror, comedy and puppetry. A number of the Dream-Makers team reconvened for even more ambitious short film Signing Off, and 1999 hit movie Scarfies
