DR.
TONY IS MORE THAN A CHARACTER IN TELEVISION’S FAVORITE SOAP!
When Brad Maule left Texas for
California on a whim, he didn’t know his dream of having an acting career would
result in his death…twenty-four times his character, Dr. Tony, was killed off
in the popular television soap, General Hospital. The fans brought him back to life every time until his
final demise from Ebola. Maule
spent 22 years on the show and thirty some years in California involved in the
film industry. He is this year’s
featured director at the Franklin County Arts Alliance DRIVEN Film Festival in Mt. Vernon Saturday, September 10th.
During a summer film class Maul
referred to cinematic language as a thought process that has existed a mere
one-hundred years, which would make it about as old as the Bankhead (Broadway
of America), an early transcontinental highway that passed by the Mt. Vernon
town square and is being celebrated along with film at this year’s DRIVEN festival. Brad Maule now hosts the “Maule in the
Morning” radio show at KSFA radio station in Lufkin and is a film instructor at
Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches.
Maule
often incorporates the local community in feature length and short film
projects. He will be showing 1938
Nacogdoches, a student film
recreated from found footage on Saturday afternoon. Maule believes the future of film will
be in Streaming and Virtual Reality.
He says “we are in the age of the Image and that the film industry
needs 48 hours of you-tubes every day –that’s eight years of content every
day.” Personal, informative and
entertaining, Brad Maule and will follow up the Convivial Society Jazz Fusion
performance in the evening with
words and guitar.
