William H. Wallace II is an independent filmmaker based in Louisville, KY. He currently owns and operates Wallace Film, LLC as well as frequently working freelance gigs for film and television productions of all sorts.

Since the year 2003 William has exclusively worked in this field on projects ranging from feature length independent and studio films, to documentaries, commercial spots, and nationwide television shows. Some of these highlights include working Props on the “2005 Emmy Award Winning Best Made for T.V. Movie” titled Warm Springs, as well as working in roles ranging from Set Decorator to Production Coordinator on commercial spots for A.T. & T., the Army, the Marines and on television shows such ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and on various other productions for Fox, HGTV and the Food Network. Through Wallace Film’s commercial work, William’s roles range from Producing, Directing, Shooting and Editing.

William has always had a love for film and admires such greats as Charlie Chaplin, and George Melies. Having a desire to create has been a driving force in his life. As early as the age of five his father recalls him saying “I want to be an artist when I grow up”, and he has always pursued this dream in some form. Prior to submerging himself in the “film world”, William did a three-year apprenticeship (1994-1997) learning the art of bronze sculptor under artists such as the Raymond Graf and the late Barney Bright. In 1995 William sculpted a bust of Bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe, which was presented to the legend shortly before his death. It was then permanently installed as a memorial to Monroe in his hometown of Rosine, KY. After his internship, William spent several years as a transient around the world before returning to Louisville in 2002.

Since art was his background it was a natural fit for William to start off working in the art dept. on film sets. He then gradually moved his way up and around the set to experience most aspects of production work from Production Assistant, Grip and Locations Manager, to Production Coordinator and Director of Photography. Learning the various roles on set has developed William’s skill set in allowing him to fully comprehend the whole process of how a production is completed from pre-production to post.

William is one of the founding members of Nadus Films a non-profit working in Southern Sudan. In 2007 he spent one month as Director of Photography shooting a feature length documentary there. He has sense returned a second time & is currently editing this film “The New Sudan”.

When not working William enjoys spending time at home with his wife, son and their four dogs. He also enjoys reading graphic novels, backpacking, rock and roll, and the brainstorming of his next project.
