The Parenthetical Trap

Originally conceived of as a remake of Disney's Parent Trap, the Parenthetical Trap was made by the women who are often mistaken for each other. We explore the resentment and affection that accompany mistaken identity. We were concerned with determining the cause of our resemblance — sugar addiction — and with the concept that all women are interchangeable in the movies. This film incorporates 8mm, 16mm, Letraset, and borrowed sound. —E.C
