Dir. Freddy McDonald - 2024 - 100m - Valid for Punch Cards
A very creative and layered crime thriller Coen Brothers-like take on the choices one makes and the various outcomes that each of those singular decisions might lead to (a la RUN LOLA RUN). Helmed by first-timer Freddy McDonald, the youngest director ever accepted into AFI and based on his high school short film that he made to earn that entry into AFI.
Starring Eve Connolly, Calum Worthy, K Callan, Thomas Douglas and John Lynch - a seamstress 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.
"A delightfully idiosyncratic crime thriller that strings together compelling themes, humorously odd visuals, and a magnetic central performance." - Calum Cooper, The People's Movies
"How, exactly, could a film be so closely themed around, of all things, seamstressing? Well, it is. It really, really is. It’s also a varied, funny crime drama which manages to incorporate elements of existential fantasy along the way." - Keri O'Shea, Warped Perspective
