Woodlawn Entertainment: A Journey of Vision, Growth, and Broadcast Excellence

Woodlawn Entertainment's story began in 2009, not as the broadcast powerhouse it is today, but as a focused commercial and video editing company. However, founder James Crenshaw, a 2007 Mississippi State University Communications graduate, held a larger vision. Recognizing the burgeoning potential of live online content, he strategically steered the company towards live video production and streaming. This wasn't just a change in service; it was a commitment to becoming a premier production entity capable of delivering high-stakes, high-quality broadcasts.
That commitment fueled remarkable growth. Over the subsequent years, Woodlawn Entertainment meticulously built its expertise and infrastructure, transforming from a small editing house into a nationally recognized leader. Today, they execute over 100 complex, high-level broadcasts annually, demonstrating a consistent ability to manage demanding production schedules and deliver exceptional results. Their reputation isn't confined to the Southeast; Woodlawn travels coast-to-coast, bringing their signature network-level quality to diverse clients. This extensive experience includes successful collaborations with prominent organizations across various sports landscapes, such as the SWAC, SIAC, Babe Ruth League, the Great American Rivalry Series, TBT (The Basketball Tournament), and the NJCAA, proving their adaptability and deep understanding of athletic event coverage. Woodlawn Entertainment doesn't just film games; they craft compelling visual narratives that capture the intensity, emotion, and skill on display, matching the production standards of major television networks.
