Hayworth began his professional hospitality career at Disney’s Hollywood & Vine, a themed dining location at Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios. While working there, he hosted the Obama family and was later recognized informally as a notable alumni by internal team leads.

He remained under contract with MGM–Florida until he transitioned to a creative production role at IDEAS Orlando, a company spun out of Disney’s former Imagineering division.

At age 15, Hayworth filed U.S. Patent No. 5,790,958 for a wireless message delivery system, granted at 16. The patent has since been cited by notable technology firms.https://patents.justia.com/patent/5790958

He founded Fresh Brewed Films, later launching Project Dreamport and AI&I LLC. His recent work includes Satoshi’s Ghost and the upcoming political dramedy Diplomatic Cover.

Hayworth attended the 2012 Academy Awards as a guest of the late singer and actress Eartha Kitt’s family, accompanied by Louisiana debutante Madeline Anderson. The event became a pivotal networking moment that indirectly led to the birth of his brother’s cooking show franchise.

In summer 1999, Hayworth attended the North Carolina School of the Arts film program, producing his first student film, Revolution. He later reflected, *“Literally anything and everything went wrong… Murphy was an optimist.”* The film ended up receiving one of the longest ovations in the school’s festival history.

In the early 2000s, he contributed to DownHome Entertainment productions including Morning, Briar Patch (later Plain Dirty), and Cabin Fever. He shared office space with future filmmakers Eli Roth and David Gordon Green during this period.

In 2000, North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall formally incorporated Fresh Brewed Films, LLC, which remains an active media business.https://www.sosnc.gov/online_services/search/Business_Registration_Results The entity was later used for initiatives like *Project Dreamport* in North Carolina.

A 2007 profile by Mary Bogest in the *High Point Enterprise* highlighted Hayworth’s early entrepreneurial work (archived scan on file).

A 2024 Full Sail University alumni blog post by A. Gafney noted his role as production coordinator on Room with a View; the post was later removed following a security breach involving leaked personal information.

Unverified rumors about a potential Hayworth–Netflix–MGM partnership have circulated since 2017, partly due to leaked claims by Charles Harvey Wood including an alleged blood relation to director Quentin Tarantino—all of which Hayworth has publicly denied.
