For over two decades, Rider Strong and Shiloh Strong have been acting in theater, film, and television. Rider is best known for his seven-season run on ABC’s Boy Meets World and the cult horror film, Cabin Fever. Shiloh starred in the television adaptation of Dinotopia and the sitcom The Mommies. When the brothers joined forces to write and direct, they produced the short film Irish Twins, which premiered at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival and went on to win multiple jury and audience awards at festivals worldwide. That same year they created a spec commercial for Barack Obama's presidential bid that MoveOn.org awarded Funniest Ad and raised the money to take to air; it was the first political ad to appear on Comedy Central. Their second short, The Dungeon Master, was a selection of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival where it won Best Short in the online competition. It also won Best Comedy Short at the Sonoma International Film Festival. Their latest film, Method, premiered at the Palms Springs ShortFest, and in fall of 2011 their graphic novel, Blood Merchant will be released by Image Comics.
