This 23-Year-Old Is One of the Most Exciting New Directors Out There

Meet the director behind one of the most creative and deftly directed films of SXSW 2024, Sew Torn's Freddy MacDonald.

This 23-Year-Old Is One of the Most Exciting New Directors Out There

Sew Torn marks Freddy MacDonald’s feature directorial debut, so I’m eager to label him a SXSW discovery, but the truth of the matter is, others have already noticed what a phenomenal young artist he is. He was the youngest directing fellow accepted at the AFI Conservatory, and signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) at just 18-years-old. Industry insiders have been investing in MacDonald for years, but with Sew Torn celebrating its world premiere at SXSW, it’s time for a much wider audience to recognize the immense amount of talent MacDonald has at such a young age, and how much promise he has moving forward.
