Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou
When IMDb gave them the chance to Ask Each Other Anything, 'Talk to Me' directors Danny and Michael Philippou chose to trade punches instead of questions. The twin brothers discuss how they made the leap from their RackaRacka YouTube channel to creating their first feature film, whether they believe in the supernatural, and if they would dare "take the hand" to play the game that is central to their A24 horror film.
