Jeff Woolnough (also credited as Jeffrey W. Woolnough) is a Canadian film and television director who directed three episodes of the Re-imagined Series. A member of the Directors Guild of Canada,[external 1] he began directing scripted television in 1988 and has accumulated credits across approximately 150 hours of television movies, limited series, and hour-long episodic drama.[external 2]
Career
editEarly work
editBefore working in broadcast journalism and documentary filmmaking, Woolnough played guitar in a touring rock band during his college years and took his first production job in craft services.[external 3] He credits apprenticing under Norman Jewison on the Academy Award-winning film Moonstruck (MGM, 1987) with redirecting him from non-fiction into dramatic directing.[external 4] His first scripted directing credit was the Lifetime telefilm Betrayal of Silence (1988), filed under the credit "Jeffrey Woolnough."[external 5]
Through the 1990s, Woolnough directed episodes of several syndicated and cable genre series, including Silk Stalkings, Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, Stargate SG-1, Earth: Final Conflict, and multiple installments of The Outer Limits, as well as the NBC miniseries Sleepwalkers (1997).[external 6] He also directed the two Universal Soldier direct-to-video sequels produced for Showtime: Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms (1998) and Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business (1999).[external 7]
In the early 2000s, Woolnough directed episodes of Dark Angel, Taken (Sci-Fi Channel, 2002), Dead Like Me, and Smallville, among others.[external 8]
Battlestar Galactica
editWhen Breck Eisner departed the Battlestar Galactica miniseries prior to production, Woolnough was among the directors considered to replace him before Michael Rymer was selected.[production 1] He subsequently joined the Re-imagined Series as a recurring director, working on both the first and second seasons. At the time of his engagement, his credits on Smallville, Stargate SG-1, and Dead Like Me were cited in the series' official companion volume.[production 2]
Woolnough directed the Season 1 episode "The Hand of God" (written by Bradley Thompson and David Weddle), the season's visual-effects-intensive set piece built around the fleet's strike on a Cylon tylium refinery. For Season 2, he returned to direct "Home, Part II" (written by David Eick). In the audio commentary for that episode, Eick noted that because Woolnough had previously helmed "The Hand of God," he was a director already "intimate with the characters and the style" of the series — a factor Eick called important given that the scripts for the arc were being substantially rewritten during production.[commentary 1] Eick singled out Woolnough's direction of Kara "Starbuck" Thrace's prayer scene after her return to Galactica following the recovery of the Arrow of Apollo as a particularly effective moment within what he described as one of the most logistically demanding episodes of the run.[commentary 2]
His third episode, "Downloaded" (Season 2, Episode 18; written by Thompson and Weddle), presented the Cylon perspective of resurrection and was subsequently nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) at the 65th World Science Fiction Convention (Nippon 2007, Yokohama) in 2007,[external 9] and was also nominated at the 5th Annual Visual Effects Society Awards for Outstanding Animated Character in a Live Action Broadcast Program.[external 10]
