Video Marked (1986)

A Rock Documentary that takes a behind the scenes look at "The Marked". The Marked was a mid-1980's gothic/punk/rock band that originated in Chicago, Illinois, and sparked a bit in St. Petersburg, Florida, before personal egos and frustrations caused the band to burn-out and break-up altogether. Jonathan Morrill filmed, directed, conceived, and edited music videos for 'The Marked'. The seven music videos in 'Video Marked' include one, still unreleased, for a song titled "Stained Glass Window", which featuring Billy Corgan as a grave digger, Ron Roesing as an escaped lunatic, and Dale Meiners as a priest. Two more music videos, which have been boot-legged, and surfaced on youtube, include "Scary Neurotic Song" (filmed in Morrill's living room), and "The Trance" (shot at the now defunct Act IV, in Tampa Florida). Rounding out the list of music videos, all of which are unreleased, include "Anima Animus", which was shot at The American Stage Company, and excerpted from Jonathan Morrill's "Multi-Color House and Friends"), "Passion to Despise", "The Dream" and "Pelican." The videos are connected with narration by director commentary by Jonathan Morrill, and behind the scenes footage of the band rehearsing, usually arguing with each other.
