A puppet pug! What more could you want? In the short film Ms Green and Other Lovely Beasts (watch the trailer HERE), the inner workings of Elnora Green's curious mind have produced this version of Dizga II, her faithful and dirty-minded companion.
The puppet version of Dziga II was created from scratch by the amazing Olivia Venables to match the character's live action counterpart Dolly, and puppeteered by Alfie Walton (who gamely rose to the task after being drafted-in to the role at the last minute). Currently studying Film and Media at the BRIT School, Alfie has already worked with Apple TV and, most recently, Disney. Now the host and producer of Alfie’s Manic Mondays, Alfie’s fast mouth, sharp instincts and undeniable charm suggest one thing: the gift of the gab is alive and well.
The final piece of the puzzle in bringing Dziga II to life was his voice, performed by Clark Alexander, the lead actor in Oakhill Productions' award-winning short film For Want Of A Nail (watch the film HERE). A professional actor with a serious Shakespeare habit, Clark has spent years performing and touring classic works, most recently completing an international tour of Macbeth and Romeo & Juliet.
