Zara Gillian Berrie (born September 1967)[1] is a Scottish filmmaker and co-founder of the Glasgow-based production company Sigma Films with director David Mackenzie.[2]

Berrie also founded Film City Glasgow, the state-of-the-art creative cluster for production, picture and sound which spearheads independent production in Scotland.[3]

She also created the hugely successful Jumpcut project which was dedicated to giving young and underprivileged people access to working in the film industry through a pop-up film school that created an intensive, mentor-lead fast track into the industry.[4] The project went on to inspire Berrie to create Short Circuit, the Scottish talent initiative and shorts funding scheme that launched in 2020.[5][6]
