On 8th and 9th January, 2016 at the Accra Mall’s SilverBird Cinema, Sparrow Productions served African movie lovers the first dose of its Sparrow Entertainment Festival—screening two of its latest productions; an enthralling political drama series titled ‘SHAMPAIGN’ and a one-of-a-kind movie thriller titled ‘REBECCA.’
They promised a two-day soiree of up close and personal interaction with cast, crew and movie stars from all around the continent, red carpet pictures, interviews, autograph signing and behind the scenes gossip—which was duly delivered.
