A prolific filmmaker, [6] Woodward, for example, directed 13 films between 2013 and 2017. [7] [8] They include the biographical Western Hickok [9] [10] and the period drama Gangster Land . In a review of that film, Variety described him as follows:

Timothy Woodward Jr. was born too late. Clearly, the kind of enterprise that enabled this actor-turned-director to make no less than 13 features in the last five years for his own production company would’ve been ideally deployed in a “golden age” Poverty Row studio. [11]

In 2018 Woodward, "who until (then) ha(d) primarily worked in the action and Western genres" directed his first horror film, The Final Wish. [12] He made another horror film in 2020, The Call, [13] and in 2023, Til Death Do Us Part, a thriller [14] and Woodward's third collaboration with Jeffrey Reddick. [15]

Woodward has also overseen the Amazon Prime series Studio City since 2019. This series, created by Sean Keana n, is directed, co-written and produced by Woodward and has received various Indie Series award [16] [17] and Emmy nominations, including "Outstanding directing team" for Woodward, [18] and two wins, including the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Limited Series in 2021.
