Wombmates

Wombmates is a ½ hour dramedy series about identical twins, BRIDGET - the clean-cut straight girl - and ELLIOT - the queer hot mess. When Elliot crashes on the couch in Bridget’s Brooklyn apartment, their lives fuse together in ways previously avoided... Especially when it’s revealed that Elliot has been secretly dating Bridget’s BFF/roommate. This forces them to admit that they are more alike and way messier than they thought. Bridget and Elliot are two real-world women dealing with adulthood, sisterhood, sexuality and identity in 2021.

Director Statement

As twins, we look forward to telling a story about twins where they are fully-formed human beings (not weird sidekicks, a creepy scare, or a sexy fantasy).
We're excited to bring our own experiences to the screen -- the growing pains, from feeling like each other’s competition, to then, finally, being best friends and soulmates.
Also, we draw from our fluid experiences with queerness to tell a nuanced, honest story of sexuality and gender for both our leads.
