About James Wallace
James Wallace is an Australian author, screenwriter, and film producer with a unique background in high-stakes currency trading. His 26 years in global financial markets, including senior roles at Westpac (Sydney/New York) and Citigroup, as well as founding Camelotfund and Excalibur Funds, inform the risk-savvy and analytical approach he now applies to filmmaking. His trading strategies earned him global recognition, including Barclay Hedge Top 10 FX Firms in 2010 and 2014.
As producer of The Secret Moon, James brings financial expertise, passion for impactful stories and a strong desire for social change. The next two films in the Braveheart Films / Storm Ashwood Projects slate are The Soho Oracle and TRADERS, both based on novels written by Wallace.
James’ work is deeply shaped by a commitment to social justice. His passion for the fight against human slavery and child trafficking directly inspired his involvement in The Secret Moon. His creative work is equally influenced by his academic study under genocide scholar Dr Colin Tatz at Macquarie University, and by his own music — his song Can You Feel It featured in his Nine Network documentary Life Challenge Kokoda.
Today, James is focused on building Braveheart Films into a globally respected production hub that unites financial acumen, creative vision, and social conscience.
