Filmmaker Marshall Woodworth Finds Inspiration in his Bayou Roots

The beginning of this project led Woodworth to the Ella Project again for advice on forming the company. At the same time, he decided to get a master’s degree in filmmaking. He earned his master’s while teaching, editing and writing a screenplay. All this seems normal for Woodworth.

The Ella Project has helped with various legal matters such as contracts, partnership agreements and funding deals. “It usually takes several back and forth versions to get things right,” Woodworth said. “This represents hours of attorney fees that the Ella Project provides pro bono for their clients. I say a big ‘thank you’ for that.”
