Ben Moody lives, breathes, eats and sleeps film. He started working in the industry at a post-production trailer house in Los Angeles. There, Ben was exposed to the marketing side of the film world where he wrote copy and became an HD Finisher. He worked on a number of large campaigns for movies such as, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” “A Scanner Darkly,” “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” and a number of video game campaigns like “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” and “God of War.” From there Ben moved to the startup Internet site Gametrailers.com. He wrote, produced and edited video segments for the site. Viacom/MTV Networks picked up the company and Ben continued to work on creating original content for the growing site. Ben created several original series for Gametrailers.com including a 6-part Legend of Zelda retrospective that gained over 7 million downloads and is still watched today.
Ben left MTV and Gametrailers.com in the beginning of 2007 to pursue more story-driven work. He is now looking to combine his experience in filmmaking, marketing and Internet video in a unique way with Blue Goggles Films.

Rachel Campbell Moody is a web designer and product manager by day and producer for Blue Goggles Films by night/weekend. With a general love for movies, Rachel decided to try her hand at taking her organization and managing skills from the web world into the film world, and it turned out the two industries have more similarities than differences. As a producer, Rachel enjoys the challenge of making all the pieces come together before a film shoot. Much like a web site release, preparing for a film shoot brings the rush of adrenaline and stress of getting everyone and everything in sync before a film shoot followed by the excitement of seeing the final product.
