Along with his brother, Shiloh Strong, he wrote and directed the short film,Irish Twins, which premiered at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. It went on to win both the Jury Award and Audience Award at the Woods Hole Film Festival, a Special Jury Prize in the Action/Cut Short Film Competition and Best First-Time Director at DC Shorts. Speaking to Pure Movies in 2010 he expressed that he wanted to expand his writing and directing career: 'Acting is always there and I enjoy it but it’s kind of got a little unfulfilling lately. You know, I’m in the low budget horror world…I [2] have a whole lot of other stuff I want to do.'

In April 2008, Strong co-created (with his brother and his girlfriend, actress Alexandra Barreto) a 30-second television ad in support of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, titled "It Could Happen to You." The ad, submitted to MoveOn.org, became one of 15 finalists from a pool of over 1,100 submitted ads, and was chosen as the funniest ad in May 2008. In August, MoveOn raised $200,000 to air the ad on MTV and Comedy Central; it was the first political commercial to ever appear on Comedy Central. In early 2009, Strong narrated the audiobook ofThe Obama Revolutionby Alan Kennedy-Shaffer. In 2010, Strong starred in the science fiction-thriller filmThe Darkening Skyalongside Ezra Buzzington, Charley Rossman, Sally Berman, Daniel Kirschner and LaShan [3] Anderson under the direction of Victor Bornia.
