I bet the name Tommy Lee Wallace means nothing to most of us. However, Wallace is a very good friend and longtime collaborator of John Carpenter's. And yep, he also grew up in Bowling Green.

Award-winning producer, director, writer and composer John Carpenter will be among the guest speakers for the 2012 Western Kentucky Film Festival May 2-4. Carpenter was born in Carthage, NY, but his family mowed to Bowling Green in 1953. He attended Western Kentucky University and returns to the school next month.
