In this episode of Sew & So, we thread together sewing, storytelling, and fate with the extraordinary team behind Sew Torn—a bold, visually inventive new film that’s turning heads on the festival circuit. A dark comedy and thriller stitched with style and suspense, Sew Torn follows Barbara Duggen, a mobile seamstress who stumbles upon a drug deal gone wrong. Faced with a suitcase of cash and two wounded men, Barbara's split-second decisions unravel across multiple timelines—each with irreversible consequences. Joining us are Freddy Macdonald, the 24-year-old visionary director and youngest-ever Directing Fellow at the American Film Institute; his father and producing partner Fred Macdonald, a seasoned media executive; and Irish actor Eve Connolly, who brings grit and heart to the role of Barbara. Together, they share how thread becomes both weapon and metaphor—from embroidered “talking portraits” and stitched title cards to practical thread-powered effects. We explore the creative risks, emotional complexity, and sewn-in symbolism that make Sew Torn a cinematic tapestry of tension, transformation—and the staggering ripple effects of every decision.
