DaVinci Opening Night

An Evening with Oscar® Nominee Randall Wallace

The DaVinci International Film Festival is back, and we are next-leveling our kickoff. This isn’t just an opening night; it’s a cinematic celebration of epic proportions.

Join us on the red carpet as we honor legendary storyteller, director, and Oscar®-nominated screenwriter Randall Wallace (Braveheart, Pearl Harbor, We Were Soldiers).

We are thrilled to present Randall with DIFF’s coveted Visionary Award®—an honor previously bestowed upon the legendary Michael J. Fox—celebrating his extraordinary contributions to the craft of filmmaking.
