Both directed shorts and commercials early in their careers, with Moorhead directing his first film at 19 years old. Their first film, the 2012 horror film
Resolution, was screened at the 2012
Tribeca Film Festival. They described their partnership as purely collaborative and cast the lead actors after working with them in previous commercials they had worked on. Their follow up, the 2014
romantic body horror film
Spring, premiered at the 2014
Toronto International Film Festival. The film was publicly praised by both
Richard Linklater and
Guillermo del Toro. The pair's work can also be found in the horror anthology film
V/H/S: Viral in the segment entitled "Bonestorm". Their film
The Endless premiered in competition at the
Tribeca Film Festival in 2017, and was theatrically released in 2018 by
Well Go USA Entertainment.
The Endless, alongside their 2019 film
Synchronic which premiered at the
2019 Toronto International Film Festival, are in the same shared universe as
Resolution. Amid the
COVID-19 pandemic, the duo created and starred in
Something in the Dirt which was shot in Benson's apartment due to
restrictions on the film industry at the time. They describe their films as naturalistic and grounded, despite the science fiction or horror elements. In television, Benson and Moorhead have contributed to multiple
Marvel Cinematic Universe television series. After directing two episodes of
Moon Knight, the duo were recruited as lead directors of the
second season of
Loki and directed four out of six episodes of the series. In 2023, after a significant creative reshuffle on
Daredevil: Born Again, the two were hired as lead directors and executive producers, and, alongside new
showrunner Dario Scardapane, reworked the storyline and structure of the planned first and second seasons. Benson and Moorhead are credited with directing three episodes in the show's
first season, and contributed to the already-completed other six episodes. They returned as lead directors in the
second season, directing the first two episodes of the season.
Ethan Hawke and
Vincent D'Onofrio, stars of
Moon Knight and
Daredevil: Born Again respectively, both praised the filmmaking team for their direction on set and creative decisions.
