SEW TORN (2025)

Did you know that a simple seamstress’s button can unleash total chaos, complete with a briefcase full of dough, organized crime bosses and smoking guns, in which a poor quiet lil’ town gets tangled up. On the crossroads between thriller and black comedy, SEW TORN brilliantly opts for a narrative that moves in several directions at once without ever losing the thread. An impressive feat, pulled off with a mastery that smacks of the Coen bros’ influence. In short, a fantastic flick tailor-made for the BIFFF by Freddy Macdonald, a 25-year-old prodigy and – incidentally – the youngest director ever to be accepted by the American Film Institute.
