Interesting facts

Sparrow or Wróbel is a 2010 Polish-British slasher horror film, directed by Shaun Troke, written by Matthew Mosley and Justin Di Febo, and produced by independent filmmaker Wojciech Stuchlik. The film stars Jack W. Carter, Alexis Jayne Defoe, Eric Kolelas, Sarah Linda, Thomas James Longley and Faye Sewell.

Production

Originally titled Camp Nightmare, the story was written by underground screenwriters Matthew Mosley and Justin Di Febo. The story is based around six teenage friends who set off on a camping trip in a forest presumed to be the site of a historic murder.

Casting occurred in the United Kingdom in March 2010. The role of the serial killer 'Sparrow', was originally to be played by an English actor, but when he was forced to return to England, director Shaun Troke cast Marian Folga, a local artist from Jaworzno, in the role.

Principal filming began in the Hamerla area near Lędziny, Poland in June, supported by a mainly Polish crew, and was completed 23 July, with post-production being completed in late September.

On 22 July 2010, an initial teaser trailer was made public. Early versions of Sparrow received official screenings on and around Halloween 2010 in Vermont, Poland and South Africa. A British premiere in London is now set for early 2012.
