Growing up in the shadow of a famous father like Ray Romano presents a unique set of experiences. Matt and Greg Romano, now 31, delve into these in their new documentary, Romano Twins. As they navigated their mid-twenties, they explored the challenges and rewards of being twins with a renowned father while seeking their life's purpose.

The Documentary's Journey

The documentary premiered at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival on Nov. 9 but currently lacks a distributor and a release date. Made when they were 26, it covers the twins' struggles of leaving their parents' home and forging their own identities. Matt embarked on a wilderness trip, while Greg traveled the country performing stand-up at small venues. 1: Matt's wilderness adventure was a significant part of his journey. It allowed him to connect with nature and perhaps gain a new perspective on life. He faced challenges along the way, but it was a time of self-discovery for him. Greg's stand-up performances at small dive bars and restaurants were equally challenging. He had to deal with the pressure of trying to make a name for himself in the comedy world. 2: These separate journeys gave them a chance to grow as individuals and understand their own strengths and weaknesses. It was a time of exploration and self-reflection for both brothers.

The Impact of Ray Romano's Success

Greg recalls that he was only 3 years old when his dad's show, Everybody Loves Raymond, started. He didn't witness his dad's early struggles but has seen the success of creating a successful show. Ray, now 66, also shares his perspective. He understands Greg's struggle with failure as he went through similar experiences before his show took off. 1: Ray emphasizes that everyone has to go through the process of growing and improving. He himself gave up stand-up for four years because it was tough in the beginning. Seeing Greg's difficulties at small venues is hard for him as a father. 2: The twins admit that they don't know if they would have pursued entertainment without their dad. His connections and success in the industry have made it seem more achievable for them.

The Future and Family Bond

The identical twins are now working on a movie script with their younger brother Joe. This shows their continued interest in the entertainment world and their family bond. 1: Their shared love for entertainment and their family has brought them together in this creative endeavor. It's a way for them to continue exploring their passions and grow as a family. 2: Ray is both proud and concerned to see his sons following in his footsteps. He knows the challenges of the industry but also believes in their abilities.Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
