Sew Torn

A seamstress gets tangled in her own thread after stealing a briefcase from a drug deal gone bad.

Barbara Duggen, The Mobile Seamstress, is struggling to keep her fabric shop alive. After a botched sewing appointment sets her on a quest to replace her client’s button, she stumbles upon a drug deal gone bad. Faced with downed motorcyclists, guns, and a briefcase, Barbara is completely torn. She is forced to pick between three choices: commit the perfect crime, call the police, or drive away.
The narrative presents the repercussions of all three decisions, and the deadly confrontations that result from each as she gets entangled with the case’s owner. Using thread to free herself, Barbara stops at nothing to save her store.

“Sew Torn” is Student Academy Award winner Freddy Macdonald’s debut film. This time-twisting thriller follows his critically acclaimed short film of the same title, which was acquired by Searchlight Pictures and received an Oscar-qualifying theatrical release.
