FREDDY MACDONALD | USA, SWITZERLAND | 2024 | 95 MIN | ENGLISH
Mild-mannered seamstress Barbara (Eve Connolly), teetering on the edge of financial ruin, makes a desperate, life-altering choice. After stumbling upon the aftermath of a botched drug deal, she seizes a briefcase filled with cash, triggering a dangerous chain of events. What begins as a last-ditch effort to save her shop quickly spirals into a tense and often humorous game of survival, where every decision sends her down unpredictable and perilous paths. With quick thinking as her only lifeline, she must outrun the escalating consequences of her choices. Sew Torn offers a thrilling exploration of fate, second chances, and the cost of desperation, masterfully blending suspense and dark comedy. In his bold feature debut, 23-year-old Freddy Macdonald—the youngest Directing Fellow ever accepted into the prestigious AFI Conservatory—delivers a fresh and inventive style, proving he’s a filmmaker to watch.
Cast: Eve Connolly, Calum Worthy, John Lynch, Caroline Goodall
