Los Angeles, Calf - Former “Mac Genius” Tony Edwards, who portrays the fictional character, The Reverend Doctor Bobby Newton, spiritual leader and technological guide of The Church of Mac, will be featured the upcoming film, “MacHEADS”.

“MacHEADS” is a documentary about fanaticism and unconditional devotion to a corporate brand. The film reveals the fascinating characters that make up the Macintosh community. Their stories take us on a journey through Mac history leading up to the Apple revolution and to its present day popularity to pose the ultimate question: Is Apple losing faith as a community and becoming just a … brand?

He was an Assistant editor on the Turner Classic Movies documentary The John Garfield Story and directed Intervention, the short film on awards at San Francisco Brainwash Film Festival.
