“Dream Factory” – Backgrounds
Although the Studio Babelsberg has long since placed itself on the international market with Hollywood productions such as “Inglourious Basterds” or “Grand Budapest Hotel”, the last own production is more than 20 years back. Producers Tom Zickler (“Keinohrhasen”) and Christoph Fisser (“Der Vorleser”) now want to break new ground with the East-West love story “Traumfabrik”, set against the background of the historic DEFA studios.
German history, German film history and a touching love story – less should not come together in the film by director Martin Schreier (“Our time is now”). For this to work, Schreier has come up with a select cast for “Traumfabrik”, led by “Ku’damm 56” star Emilia Schüle and Dennis Mojen (“Nowhere”). In addition Heiner Lauterbach (“Welcome to the Hartmanns”) as strict CEO and Ken Duken (“Berlin Falling”), who takes on the role of Emil’s older brother and gives him the extras job.
