Actor-producer Mark Wahlberg and director-writer-producer David O. Russell, who
discuss their collaborations in front of an audience comprised of AFI Fellows
studying filmmaking at the world-renowned AFI Conservatory. Their work together
includes the Iraq-set drama Three Kings (1999), which co-starred Wahlberg,
George Clooney and Ice Cube, and The Fighter (2010), with Wahlberg, Christian
Bale and Melissa Leo. This one-hour special is packed with clips from both men's
careers, as well as from movies that have inspired them, including It's A
Wonderful Life (1946), and Man of a Thousand Faces (1957). It is the
second installment of AFI's Master Class series, which debuted in 2011 with the
collaboration between master filmmaker Steven Spielberg and composer John Williams
and included film clips and discussion ranging from Jaws (1975) to
Schindler's List (1993) and On the Waterfront (1954) to Amadeus
