Known for their dynamic visuals and unconventional storytelling, their short films Weight (2023) and Cheers, (2024) have earned multiple festival awards, with Cheers premiering at the Academy Award–qualifying LA Shorts International Film Festival.

They are currently in post-production on their third and most ambitious short film to date. With over 10,000 auditions submitted for its cast, every element of the film was built from the ground up through community collaboration.
