Maggie and Milo are a twin brother and sister who have been living apart for ten years. Milo has been desperately trying to follow his Hollywood dream of stardom, while Maggie is struggling to keep hold of her marriage to Lance. The pair are reunited expectedly after both narrowly avoiding a fatal accident on exactly the same day, and Maggie offers Milo a place to stay. Their relationship is rocky at best, but it soon becomes clear that they need each other's guidance if they want to overcome their troubles; Maggie can't bring herself to tell Lance that she's not ready for the baby they've been trying to conceive, and Milo simply can't let go of a past heartbreak. Can these twins reconnect and fix each other, or is it too late to work things out?

'The Skeleton Twins' is a heart-warming drama packed with hilarity and hope. Directed by Craig Johnson ('True Adolescents') and co-written by BAFTA nominee Mark Heyman ('Black Swan'), the movie won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, while also being nominated for the Grand Jury Prize and Edinburgh International Film Festival's Audience Award. It is due to hit US theaters on September 19th 2014.
