Twin directors making a movie about twins—neither knows what the other filmed. Chaos? Art? Both.
Identical twin brothers, separated for 40 years, live unaware of each other until fate intervenes, forcing them to confront a long-hidden truth. For this project, each of the Polish brothers will write and direct one half of the movie without one knowing anything about the other's work, resulting in two separate storylines that will be interwoven into a single feature-length film. This approach will enable each brother to explore the nature of the twin relationship from their own unique perspective without being influenced or constrained by the other's vision.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Michael and Mark Polish previously co-directed together; this experiment fractures their decades-long creative partnership into competitive isolation.
The project echoes other blind collaboration experiments like Exquisite Corpse games, but rarely attempted with this level of personal stakes—actual siblings exploring their own bond through deliberate estrangement.
