Jeffrey C. Woodson II

With over a decade of production experience working with brands such as Netflix, CBS Sports and Anheuser-Busch, Mr. Woodson has filled his resume with  multiple documentaries, commercials, music videos, branded content, and narrative short films. Currently residing in St. Louis, Missouri with his wife and son, Jeffrey is in pre-production on his debut feature film, “Project [RED]” while writing his second feature and developing an episodic pilot.
