Virgin Twins

 

2011 Nicole Bazuin and Andrea Werhun met on the set of a music video Nicole was directing. As their friendship grew over the next decade, a creative partnership formed as Virgin Twins with the aim of bringing Andrea’s sex work experiences to artistic life.

2018 The duo self-published Modern Whore: A Memoir, combining Andrea’s writing with Nicole’s photography. The acclaimed book sold out its print run in a year and was a Strand NYC Staff Pick, garnering attention from The New York Times, The Guardian, VICE, CBC, and more.

2020 Two short documentaries featuring Andrea and directed by Nicole are released: Modern Whore (SXSW) and Last Night at the Strip Club (CBC Gem, Hot Docs).

2022 The expanded edition of Modern Whore: A Memoir is published by Strange Light Books, Penguin Random House Canada.

2024 Nicole and Andrea shoot the Modern Whore feature film, executive produced by Sean Baker. 

NOW With the feature-length Modern Whore doc, Andrea and Nicole are driven to create an accessible, fully realized cinematic work with the potential to impact the state of feminism and sex worker rights for years to come.
