We all have two sides: the one we show, and the one that answers when no one's looking. Twin is a short psychological thriller/suspense about the thin line between ignoring and inviting, between blocking a call -- and becoming the version of you who picks it up. A late-night text. A door left open. And a presence that feels eerily familiar.*This entry is participating in the ReelShort Reel Vertical Impact contest

A thrilling trip through Darwin‑Award‑style accidents, CSI‑parody investigations, and the off‑kilter world of Accidental Affairs, created by Tom Konkle and David Beeler—a surreal, vertical series that blends Adult Swim-esque absurdity with CSI tropes. The story of a so-called elite team that investigates work‑place accidents and safety violations… but accidentally makes everything far worse. Directed by Tom Konkle. Written and created by Konkle and Beeler. Each case on the show parodies recognizable CSI tropes—investigation boards, VFX reconstructions—except the investigators are monstrosities of incompetence who amplify the chaos.
