I will describe "open-closed-open triality" in the computation of a (holomorphic) Wilson loop correlator in self-dual N=4 SYM uplifted to twistor space. By the amplitude/Wilson loop duality, this generates a matrix model that computes tree amplitudes in N=4 SYM. I will also describe hopes of embedding this matrix model into twisted holography. In particular, I will present a top-down gravitational dual to self-dual N=4 SYM.
