Ladies and gentlemen, SEW TORN is about a seamstress who gets tangled in her own thread after stealing a briefcase from a drug deal gone bad. In an escalating game of cat and mouse, her different choices lead to drastically different outcomes along the way.

I loved this film, because of the creativity of the script and to see it all play out on screen. This film brings the story to life with motion, minimal dialogue, which you will not notice as you will be enthralled in the storyline and watching out how each of Barbara’s choices play out.

With Switzerland as the backdrop, it plays well together with the skill and beauty of sewing and in this film, every thread comes together and comes full circle from beginning to end.

Once you see this film, you’ll be like me and anticipate the making of the sequel of SEW TORN. So it’s time to grab more needle and thread and make it happen.
