Life and career

Freddy Macdonald was born in Santa Monica, California.[4] Macdonald's six-minute short film Sew Torn, which he made as part of his application for film school in 2019, was acquired by Searchlight Pictures and qualified for an Academy Award after a theatrical release nationwide alongside Ready or Not.[5][6][7] Executive produced by Academy Award winner Peter Spears, it was watched by Joel Coen who met with Macdonald and advised turning the short into an independent feature.[8] That same year, he was accepted to the American Film Institute, becoming the youngest directing fellow ever accepted to the Conservatory.[4][9] His AFI graduating thesis film Shedding Angels won a Student Academy Award.[10]

The world premiere of his first feature-length film Sew Torn, which he also edited and co-wrote with his father Fred Macdonald, took place at South by Southwest Film Festival in March 2024.[2][6] The feature is an expansion of the short film of the same name.[8]

It went on to headline Locarno Film Festival on the Piazza Grande. The film has been positively reviewed and featured in Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Mashable, and Collider, among others.[3][11][12][13][14]
