Goodrich directed Make Britain Proud and Inspiration[8] - two official London Olympic bid films that helped win the 2012 games.[9][10] The winning film was noted for its powerful imagery and strong messaging.[11] London Mayor Ken Livingstone said the film Inspiration 'won us the Olympics'[12] and Goodrich and his producer were named among the top ten key players who helped London win the Games (The Observer, 10 July 2005).[13]

Goodrich was commissioned to design and direct the Olympic film Inside The Race, a film exhibited at the Olympic museum in Lausanne, Switzerland.[14] For the opening ceremony of the 2012 Paralympic Games Goodrich was commissioned by Channel 4 television to direct the story of 7/11 survivor Martine Wright The Journey.[15]
