Why traumatized twins almost bailed on awards-contending doc TellMeWhoIAm
“I don’t know who I am,” he says evenly. “Not just the story of who I am, but really who I am. The real me.”
“It’s such an extraordinary opening premise for a story,” Perkins tells Deadline. “And that’s just the starting point for this film.” “He’s at his own section so that he has his own drawing room, his own study, his own staircase to get to his own bedroom,” Marcus explains to Deadline. “And you wouldn’t ever go in there.”Their mother, too, was eccentric, a tall, gregarious woman with an intimidating aspect. After their parents’ deaths, as the twins were cleaning out the house, they came across something locked in their mother’s cupboard that would explode the myth of the idealized upbringing Marcus had spun for his brother.
“The most important thing was that these guys knew that they were in control at every stage,” he comments. “These guys have full agency to tell their story in their words at their pace.”“In a way that five-year gestation period it took to make the film, perhaps the best thing to come out of that was we were able to get to know each other really well and build a relationship of trust,” Perkins notes.
