The Ramsays are writer-directors who, before “Infinite Thread,” helmed the Blumhouse horror film “The Current Occupant” for Hulu’s “Into the Dark” anthology series. They also directed the thriller feature, “Midnighters.” Julius Ramsay has directed episodes of “The Walking Dead,” “Krypton,” and “The Purge” and won two Emmys for editing “Battlestar Galactica.” Alston has been a speechwriter for very important people and is also a journalist at The Daily Beast. Balasco is best known for showrunning “Kingdom,” a DirecTV series that followed a retired MMA fighter-turned-trainer played by Frank Grillo. The show ran for four seasons and received critical acclaim.
