It is expected for release in 2022 to film festivals.
Randall also served as co-producer on the films “Phoenix Falling” and “Firebase 9” and regularly assists other companies with their projects.
He also produces recordings for traditional music artists.
With his passion for acting and writing, the two of course led to his loves blossoming into scriptwriting under the tutorage of Carroll O’Connor and Alan Autry during his time on “In the Heat of the Night,” which yielded him the unique opportunity to co-write the screenplay for the #1 Country song “Wolverton Mountain” with Merle Kilgore and some cooperative efforts with Alan Autry.
Through his company he continues writing and co-writing scripts for film, television, stage and industrial presentations. Some others among those titles are the play “An Appalachian Gathering,” the series pilot “Southern Crossing,” the film “A Badge or an Old Guitar” or the Christmas film “Christmas Time’s A Comin’.”
