CAST AND CREW
Joel Moody
Director / Writer / Executive Producer / Lead Actor
Born in Fort Worth, raised in Austin and living in Los Angeles; I’ve grown up with the basic tools to make films, those tools being a camera, an editing system and a passion for laying out a sequence which is understandable, entertaining and exciting. In my cinematic work, I aspire to take people away from everyday life with a sci-fi based narrative and at the same time I want viewers to question the complexity of humanity.

ABOUT THE FILM
The first draft of Breaking the Loop was written in December of 2015. After two years of pitching, I came to the reality that pitches aren’t going to make the movie. I knew that with patience I could earn the funds needed to make it happen, so I started saving, in every way possible, I lived in a super small cockroach infested Los Angeles studio, had one of each utensil and slept on a futon. When I scored a six-figure job off of craigslist making YouTube videos, I realized that the idea of funding the film would be a reality sooner than later. The movie was shot in April of 2018 on a budget of $93K. After 4 years in post-production, creating all of the music, VFX and editing the film, I’m delighted to send it into the universe.
