Bethany Ashton Wolf
Wolf, born and raised in Louisiana, has been a working screenwriter and feature film director in Los Angeles for the past 15 years.

Wolf then wrote, directed, and produced the award-winning short films, The Burgundy Room and Wait, followed by her first theatrically released feature, the Cajun drama, Little Chenier, which won 10 Best Picture Awards and 6 International Best American Film Awards during its festival run.
Wolf recently wrote and directed the theatrically released film, Forever My Girl (Lionsgate, Roadside Attractions & LD Entertainment) accompanied by an all-original country star soundtrack that Wolf developed herself.
Wolf has had numerous screenwriting assignments for both studio and independent companies, including Other People's Love Letters (CBS Films & Laurence Mark Productions), Time Between Us (CBS Films & Robin Schorr Productions), The Pilgrimage of Layla (Lifetime & Wendy Riche Productions), On the 12th Day (Radio London Films) along with her original feature screenplay, Bullrider.
Wolf also wrote the original feature screenplay, Love Scene, a biopic that chronicles the 25-year love affair of Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier. Wolf wrote and directed a short film of the same name that won Best Short and Best Screenplay worldwide on its international festival run.
Wolf is developing the feature screenplay, A Letter to Shea (Canyon Creek Films & Simon Brooks producing) with Wolf directing the feature film.
