The brothers have garnered industry accolades in almost every major ad festival in the world. In 2024 they won the  Cannes Lion for Best Direction for their branded film, “The Rabbit Hole,” as well as Best Direction at AICP. It was named Ad of the Year in Charity at SHOTS and clinched gold at 1.4 for “On the Cusp of Greatness.” Their branded film, “Sleep Well, My Baby,” won silver at the Cannes Lions Young Director Awards.
