Ray Romano’s Identical Twin Sons Tell Their Story in New Doc Produced by the Duplass Brothers — Watch Trailer

Ray Romano and the Duplass Brothers are keeping it all in the family.

Romano’s identical twin sons Matt and Greg Romano make their feature debut co-directing the aptly-titled documentary “The Romano Twins.” Mark and Jay Duplass, along with producing partner Mel Eslyn, executive produce the feature.

The official synopsis reads: “Matt and Greg Romano are identical twins grappling with the unique challenges of being a twin and the codependency that can come with that. The boys are 26, living at home, and feeling stifled by a quarter-life crisis of sorts, so they set out to make a documentary. Along the way they try to unpack things like having a famous father and facing their individual fears and pursuing individual goals separate from each other and what that means to their sense of identity. It’s their first film and has the raw-ness that comes with that. They’re disarmingly open about their challenges, fears, and shortcomings.”

“No Good Deed” and “Everybody Loves Raymond” actor Ray is also interviewed to discuss the various challenges of being a parent of twins.

The film debuted at the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival.

Co-directors Matt and Greg produce the feature, along with Alex Johnson. The trio are also billed as the cinematographers, with Matt and Greg additionally editing. Shuli Harel is a co-executive producer.

The Duplass Brothers’ producing slate has been robust lately, with documentary features “Paper Marriage” and “Between the Mountain and the Sky” also providing meta filmmakers-turned-subjects twists like with the “The Romano Twins.” The Duplass Brothers also EP’ed the final season of “Somebody Somewhere.”

Mark Duplass previously co-starred with Ray Romano in “Paddleton” in 2019. Mark cowrote the film with director Alex Lehmann; Mark and Ray played best friends who embark on a life-changing road trip after Mark’s character is diagnosed with terminal cancer. “Paddleton” debuted at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and launched on Netflix. Mark personally campaigned for Ray to receive awards recognition for his turn in the film.

“When I ask Ray Romano to come do a movie like this and sleep in a not really nice hotel and not have a trailer and sit in a tent when it’s kind of raining outside with me and improvise the entire script — which is so out of his comfort zone, he was so scared to improvise drama — I want him to be seen and rewarded for it,” Mark told the Los Angeles Times of his decision to launch an indie FYC campaign. “I want the world to value that. So maybe there is a little bit of me shaking my fists at the world and hoping that awards consideration can bring more overall viewers to it.”

“The Romano Twins” is looking for distribution with CAA handling sales. Check out the trailer below.
