After that episode, INSTINCT, the sisters were asked back for the following season for two more episodes: CRUSH (the premiere episode of Season 3) and TEATIME (which is now the highest rated episode of the series).
RECENT WORK
Kailey and Sam directed an episode for the new season of “Creepshow” which screens on Shudder and AMC/AMC+
As an anthology show, the episode was comprised of two different stories:
THE HAT and GRIEVING PROCESS (Season 4, Episode 2).
THEATRE
The twins started their storytelling journey in theatre. They began acting at Tir-Na-nOg Theatre school on Bowen Island when they were eight years old. After finishing film school, they went back to their theatre roots to direct HAMLET for the stage in Vancouver. Taking a modern spin on the classic tale, their 2014 stage version of Shakespeare’s play featured the first female Hamlet (played by Libby Osler) in Canada. It has been a dream of theirs to bring the adaptation to screen.
