Two Bradford-born actors who work at the same supermarket have won roles in a horror film.

Jordan Greenough and Jack Carter, who work at Tesco in Brighouse, are going to London on Sunday to rehearse their parts in the film, called Sparrow.

Directed by Shaun Troke, the feature-length movie is to be shot in Poland. Jack, 19, flies out at the end of May and Jordan, 22, in mid-June.

The film is described on the web as “a youthful buddy-ensemble slasher movie… with the humour of Scream, the sex appeal of Hostel and the backdrop of The Blair Witch Project”.

Six friends go camping on a site where a park ranger is said to have murdered his girlfriend.

Jack said: “I have a main part. My character tells a story about that slaughter.

“We all get picked off. Jordan’s part is at the beginning of the film. He gets killed. I get killed too, but he gets killed before I do.”

They have both appeared in a short film called The Rivals, directed and made by Tesco colleague Mark Minas.

“It was very low budget. It was shot in Bradley Woods. It’s a comedy. Mark has entered it for the Holmfirth Film Festival,” Jack added.

Jack works on the delicatessen counter. Jordan and Mark work in fresh foods. They are all part-timers. Mark is doing a gap year directing course at Huddersfield University.

Jordan, of Clayton, and Jack, of Great Horton, met at Tesco three years ago and discovered their mutual passion for acting. Last year they were in the Manchester International Festival.

“It was a promenade performance called It Felt Like a Kiss, directed by Adam Curtis,” Jack said.

“Jordan has an agent, I haven’t. But we both want to be full-time professional actors. We’re not getting paid for the Sparrow film, it’s all-expenses paid to live in Poland; but it is a professional-standard production.

“I would say this is the biggest project we have both been in.”
