First time Producer Alexander Cooper has passionately stomped his feet into the world of independent cinema with erotic thriller Parallel. So, we caught up with him to talk about his filmmaking journey so far and the challenges of producing a self-financed indie film.

I had been working in a totally different sphere for quite a long time, I’d been working in law in the city, totally different.

Sparrow Movie PosterThe Polish shot, campers-in-the-woods film Sparrow now has a blood red poster, with a tagline. The lines on the graphic read: "If you go down to the woods today you're sure of a big surprise." The teaser seems to echo that, as six friends find a stalker and a machete instead of campfires, ghost stories, and natural landscapes. This film has set a goal of releasing in 2010, possibly September, and this independent film hopes to bring a unique take to the cliche of campers being slaughtered in the woods theme. All the available info', including a second poster - showing the killer, is below.
The synopsis for Sparrow here:
"Six teenage friends, Matt, Cindy, Kirsty, Duncan, Sitcom, and Dawn set off on a camping trip in the forest. However ‘Camp Happy Dreams’ turns out to be ‘Camp Nightmare’ as legend states it’s the site of a presumed historic murder.
