We Make Sense Like This
Growing up with a twin sister was the greatest blessing my parents
could’ve given me. Twins have a lot of shared experiences, and share a lot of similarities
whether that be physical appearance, or personality. But what about the twins that don’t
follow these ‘norms’? In my personal experience of being a fraternal twin, as my sister
and I have grown up into adults, we’ve both grown into separate individuals. But this
has not and will never affect the quality of our relationship to one another.
“We Make Sense Like This” is a short film that explores and breaks the notion of
“sameness” that is stereotypically placed on twins. This film is curated through old
home videos of my family including my twin sister, my mom and my dad. I was able to
create and tell my story of being a twin through these home videos, while also pulling
interviews from family members that have watched us grow up. With this, I was able to
highlight the beauty in my sister and I’s differences, and expand on how our uniqueness
has been beautifully interwoven into the story of lives.
