Stich in Time
In a way, the roots for Sasha Hadden’s directorial debut A Stitch in Time can be traced back more than thirty years, to when he first saw Driving Miss Daisy (Bruce Beresford, 1989).

“I was nineteen, and I found it really inspiring,” he told FilmInk. In the West, he says, stories of the aged and the aging tend to focus on struggle, grief, the tragedy of a life coming to an end.

As in the famous Oscar winner, Hadden wanted to explore something quite different with his picture. “I particularly liked what Daisy had to say about love,” he said. Once youthful beauty is eliminated, he said ‘love’ becomes a richer canvas.

A Stitch in Time is a drama (with a lot of humour) set in a very pretty looking Sydney. It focuses on a former dress maker called Liebe (Maggie Blinco) who, after years of emotional neglect and putting her own dreams on hold, hits the ‘re-start’ button at eighty+ years of age.
