Their supernatural horror The Birch accumulated over 35 million views for Crypt TV and went onto receive a Webby Award in the Drama category. The film toured festivals worldwide, finishing at Tribeca Film Festival in April, where Ben and Anthony took part in a live-streamed Q&A on-stage, alongside renowned horror filmmaker Eli Roth. In 2017 Ben and Anthony directed the short Don’t Go Down to Wildor for FOX Digital, which went on to play at Canneseries and win ‘Best Horror Short’ at HollyShorts Film Festival. Their most recent found-footage horror The Nest was made as part of the V/H/S horror franchise and is due for release over Halloween on social media.
