The Twins

Overview

Since childhood, director Zara Meerza has been fascinated by the Olsen Twins and the near-mystical place that they occupy in pop culture. In this short film, through an excavation of clips of Mary-Kate & Ashley’s films, interviews with the women who grew up with them, and interviews with pairs of twins, Zara explores history’s fascination with twins and the unique way Mary-Kate and Ashley indelibly wove their way into culture.
