'This film taught me that we all have a very deep human need for belonging and connection.'
In today's society, there's this dominating message of independence and not needing anybody to do anything, but what did filming forThis film taught me that we all have a very deep human need for belonging and connection and that meeting people with openness and curiosity rather than judgment can actually evade a load of harm. So much of what happened to the twins was because people found it very easy to misdiagnose instead of interrogating their suppositions about them.
You mentioned earlier that you were surprised to learn that the twins were very relatable. Do you think some behaviours were a way to claim their power back and achieve a sense of empowerment in the face of what they had been through? Yeah, I think one element of it was definitely a sense of empowerment. I was very protective of them to create this pact. On some level, it was also a game as well, something that they did, a sort of shared joke amongst themselves to move as slowly as possible so that people wouldn't be able to tell them apart so that they didn't draw too much attention to themselves. Also, the silence was a form of protest.
Did you feel that you could relate to them in any way, such as developing a coping mechanism in the face of adversity or discrimination yourself? Yeah, definitely! I relate to sometimes not feeling heard. I relate to feeling silenced. I also relate to choosing to be silent at times when it feels pointless to speak. And I relate to art as a means of expression in terms of what they did to cope but also to thrive as well. I don't think the writing thing was purely a trauma response.
