Split Signal

Separated by distance and the daily grind, twin brothers try to stay connected, but failing technology pulls them farther apart at the worst moment.

Written, Directed & Produced by: Matthew Nevin

Filmed on location in Galway & Los Angeles.

Irish twins Bren and Conall live worlds apart; Bren in the windswept west of Ireland, Conall amid the glitz of Los Angeles and they’re drifting further from each other. Their days are stitched with calls, videos, and voice notes, full of jokes and updates that dodge what matters, until a catch-up pulls them back down memory lane. As the signal falters, one brother is finally forced to listen. Split Signal is a contemporary portrait of masculinity, long-distance relationships, and the simple, difficult act of staying with someone when life gets heavy, told through one actor inhabiting both twins across continents, with a compassionate look at how technology can both connect and isolate those in need.
