Off Set 2018 TIFF Portrait Series: The Standoff at Sparrow Creek

Published on January 18, 2019

James Badge Dale had one hell of a TIFF 2018 experience premiering Jeremy Saulnier’s Hold the Dark, Tim Sutton’s Donnybrook and toplining Henry Dunham‘s directorial debut in the Midnight Madness selected The Standoff at Sparrow Creek. Set in a warehouse with plenty of figure pointing, the thriller was quickly picked up at the fest by RLJE Films for North American rights. Here is our photo session with the filmmaker and his star.
