Michael Emerson Directs Soul Guardians music video, 1989

1989, Michael Emerson directs a music video by the rock band Soul Guardians at the University of North Florida Art Gallery in Jacksonville, FL. The Soul Guardians are Craig Spirko (guitar & vocals), Lauren Funcham (guitar & vocals), Roy Peak (bass), Colin Westcott (drums), Scott Carpenter (lead guitar & vocals), and Arvid Smith on violin bow guitar. Michael Emerson was performing with Theatre Jacksonville when they did a series of plays by Shakespeare at Metropolitan Park called "Shakespeare at the Met." Arvid Smith composed the music for Macbeth and Craig Spirko recorded the production. That is how they all met. Craig, the band leader of Soul Guardians, needed videos for an upcoming music trade show. He asked young, aspiring actor Michael Emerson to direct the video. The "making of" the video was videotaped by Bill Ectric. The professional camera operator seen working in this video is Zina Bauman. Presented by Bill Ectric, publisher of P. S. Russell's psychedelic picaresque novel, "A Beginner's Guide to Electricity." It's literary fiction for boomers, freaks, Deadheads, environmentalists, musicians, and anyone who loves language. www.billectric.com
