Career

[edit]

Marquez was born in New Orleans, Louisiana.[3] In his own words, he got out as soon as possible.[citation needed] His travels finally led him to San Francisco where he helped found the Ant Farm, an arts collective active in the late '60s/early '70s.[1] Marquez became addicted to video[citation needed] and in 1972 started the video group TVTV along with Allen Rucker, Michael Shamberg, Tom Weinberg, and Megan Williams.[4] This group of small format video pioneers produced a number of award-winning documentaries for PBS.[5] In 1974, TVTV received the "Alfred I. du Pont/Columbia University Award in Broadcast Journalism" (DuPont Award) for the work on the documentary: Lord of the Universe.[6][7][8]
