In 2016, they finally branched out into TV and films, with their debut feature Top Knot Detective, which premiered in the USA at Fantastic Fest 2017 and went on to play at over 35 festivals worldwide including Sitges, Rotterdam and FrightFest UK—winning a variety of awards on its journey around the globe, including Best Narrative Feature at Mexico’s STUFF MX Film Festival 2018.

The pair continue to write and direct together and separately, as well as write and perform music (Dominic) and act for the screen (Aaron). Dominic is also an accomplished documentary editor, and Aaron works as a 1st Assistant Director on numerous Perth productions. Together they are currently finishing post-production on their second feature film, whilst developing new projects for cinema and television, both in Australia and the USA.
