Doron and Yoav Paz made their feature film debut with the psychodrama "Phobidilia" (IL 2009), which was shown in the Panorama Special section at the Berlinale 2010. Over the next few years, they directed episodes of Israeli television series. For their second feature film, the fantasy horror film "Jeruzalem" (IL 2015), they were awarded the Audience Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival.

In 2019, the brothers began work on the German-Israeli-American co-production "Plan A", based on a true story about a failed terrorist attack by Jewish Holocaust survivors in Germany in 1945. The film was released in December 2021.
