"We're over the moon to have Teresa as our lead in The Twin," commented co-writer/producer Aleksi Hyvärinen.
"Genuinely deeply scary, it is also a harrowing and relatable tale of loss, which puts the viewer on the edge of their seat right from start to end."
Executive producer Fabien Westerhoff also went on to share: "It's a great example of what we like doing with our filmmakers – spotting them, launching a directorial brand, and then helping them step up to the next level in their career."
