Director Biography - Hugh D.G. Moody

Hugh Moody has enjoyed photography from an early age when he would "borrow" his parents' camera. This metamorphosed into filmmaking in high school and continued into college and grad school at Cal Arts, where he studied film and theater. His love of film and design led him to become an Art Director and Production Designer, with an ADG Award for Art Direction on the feature film PASSENGERS, and a nomination for BEN 10. Hugh's Production Design credits include RECTIFY, YOU (Season 2), and all seasons of ALL AMERICAN and ALL AMERICAN HOMECOMING. Turning back to his roots as a filmmaker, Hugh recently reconnected with the creative spirit of filmmaking when all he had was an idea and a camera. The short film TIME'S UP expresses his early experiences and the wisdom of years in the industry.
