Directed by Samantha Futerman and Ryan Miyamoto • 2015 • United Kingdom
Starring Anaïs Bordier, Samantha Futerman, Kanoa Goo
In February 2013, Anaïs Bordier, a French fashion student living in London, stumbled upon a YouTube video featuring Samantha Futerman, an actress in Los Angeles, and was struck by their uncanny resemblance. After discovering they were born on the same day in Busan, Korea and both put up for adoption, Anaïs reached out to Samantha via Facebook. In TWINSTERS, we follow Samantha and Anaïs’s journey into sisterhood, witnessing everything from their first meeting to their first trip back to Korea. The film explores the meaning of family and connection through a story that would have been impossible before our social-media age.
