Craig and his late Brent Renaud got their start working with legendary filmmaker Jon Alpert at the Downtown Community TV Center in NYC. For over twenty years, the brothers have directed films for HBO, PBS, NBC, VICE, Discovery, and The New York Times—delivering stories that span from domestic rural poverty to international conflict zones. Beyond hard-hitting journalism, they have followed civil rights leaders, songwriting legends, and the most prolific writers in contemporary literature. They have explored college football for ESPN, and produced deeply empathetic work on immigration, addiction, youth homelessness, and mental illness.

Among their most celebrated work is the Oscar© nominated film Armed Only With A Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud. Their series Last Chance High, won a Peabody for its compassionate look inside a Chicago therapeutic school. Their gripping feature Dope Sick Love is widely cited by critics as one of the best documentaries in HBO's history, while their ten-part series Off to War made filmmaking history as the first documentary to embed with a military unit for an entire combat deployment—earning them an IDA Award for Best Series.

Following the tragic loss of Brent, who was the first American journalist killed in Ukraine, Craig continues their impactful filmmaking. He is currently in production on the highly anticipated second season of PBS's Southern Storytellers. He is also co-writing a Hollywood feature film script with director Jay Russell (Ladder 49) based on the brothers' lives. To continue Brent’s legacy, the family established the Brent Renaud Foundation to support emerging filmmakers and journalists.
