Randall Wallace on board for 2010 AFF!


After a long hiatus during which he was busy directing the upcoming and highly anticipated Secretariat (written by another AFF alum, Mike Rich), writer/director and AFF board member Randall Wallace will be joining us for the 2010 Conference!

Randy is unique among Hollywood filmmakers; his movies have been both critical award winners and tremendous commercial successes. Combined, his four films have grossed nearly $1 billion dollars at the theatrical box office, garnering numerous accolades including the prestigious Best Picture Oscar®.

Wallace wrote the Academy Award® winner Braveheart and the blockbuster Pearl Harbor. He also wrote, directed, and produced the critically acclaimed We Were Soldiers and The Man in the Iron Mask. Wallace is also the New York Times bestselling author of seven novels and the lyricist of the acclaimed hymn Mansions of the Lord, performed as the closing music for President Ronald Reagan’s national funeral.
