More info about the project

Twin brother filmmakers Raul and Romet live with an obsession of becoming world famous directors. The seemingly comedic coming of age story is a mixture of memories inspired by real life experiences by the directors.
After constant struggles to prove themselves in film school, the brothers set a goal of secretly directing a highly authentic feature film about twins.
The brothers start crafting a film that depicts their whole life experience from birth till death. An idea that initially seems clear turns out to be much more complicated than expected and takes the brothers' vision of life into question. After Raul falls for a girl at a nightclub, each staged scene becomes more and more complex. Raul and Romet keep arguing about the scenes until the whole production falls apart.
Only after the most difficult film adventure they understand that they don't have to agree on everything, and their greatest strength lies in cooperation.

Director’s note
“Two of Me” is a story about finding oneself - about twins who try to define their own identity through making a film about it. Brothers who have stuck together their whole lives, must start making decisions between brotherhood, love and a destined future while making the film.

Romet Esko

I am one half of the twin director's duo Eskobros. Been filming life since I was 10. When I turned 18, I devoted my life to one goal: to become one of the greatest filmmakers of all times. Aside from creating visual art in various forms I enjoy pretty much every physical activity and train myself to be a ninja. I also really like acting and pretty girls.
