Sew Torn is a crime thriller film written, directed, and edited by Freddy Macdonald. The film follows Barbara Duggen, a seamstress struggling to keep her fabric shop alive. After a botched sewing appointment sets her on a quest to replace her client’s lost button, she unexpectedly stumbles upon a drug deal gone bad. Faced with two downed motorcyclists, guns, and a briefcase, Barbara is forced to choose between committing the perfect crime, calling the police, or driving away. The narrative presents the repercussions of all three decisions, leading to drastically different outcomes.
