Bloody Bobby Director Anthony Hall

Anthony Hall’s motion picture production experience spans over two decades.   He has written multiple screenplays including the award winning MUD SEASON, which also earned Mr. Hall several best director awards.  He has a BA  in Art and Medieval History from the University of Massachusetts as well as a Producing Fellowship from AFI.  His work has been screened around the world.  His next film is set in Northern California and he is developing a screenplay that will be shot in South Africa and New York.

Mr. Hall believes that filmic storytelling is the most powerful communications tool mankind has ever developed.  With it we can cross cultural divides and bridge linguistic barriers that would otherwise isolate us.  It is also a great form of entertainment.

Anthony explains a little about his new project. "The interesting thing about BLOODY BOBBY is that it is a reflection of some of the pervasive ills which haunt our society.  Little Bobby Maxwell is a ten year old boy who is so horribly hazed by his so called “friends” that he plummets to his death on Halloween night. The magic of the story happens when he comes back to life 25 years later and visits the grown ups that the hazing children have become.  What is interesting is how they all react to Bobby, who it turns out, hasn’t aged a day.  But he has become stronger, in fact he is so strong now, that the town of Fall Creek Valley has something to look forward to once a year – the return of little Bobby Maxwell.The story is a metaphor of the history of the United States."
