(editor/writer/director) graduated with Highest Honors in Film Directing from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. He has directed several prize-winning shorts and spec commercials. His film The End won Best SciFi at HollyShorts in Los Angeles and his commercial for Laphroaig Scotch Whisky was selected as part of a young directors' showcase at The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

He is currently completing one feature film and pre-producing another, starring 2020 Drama Desk Award winner Edmund Donovan and Tony Award-nominee Zach Grenier.

As a freelance documentarian and videographer, Edmund has worked for numerous arts organizations and theater companies, including the world-renowned Shakespeare & Company of Lenox, Massachusetts. Lucky Milo, a documentary about his close childhood friend who died by suicide after serving as a Marine in Afghanistan, is Edmund's first completed feature-length film as director & editor. With his parents, Donald Marcus and Lisa Milligan, he founded The Ark Picture Company, which focuses on developing and producing original, writer/director-driven films.

(producers/co-collaborators) have enjoyed a long marriage and an even longer producing partnership in theatre and film. In collaboration with their son, Edmund Milligan Marcus, they have been producing a documentary entitled Lucky Milo for the past three years. Their previous film work includes the multi-award-winning short, Patrimony, starring Academy Award® nominee, Robert Vaughn, and Tony® Award nominee, Melissa Errico, which they produced together and which Mr. Marcus wrote and directed.

Their collaboration began in New York City at the acclaimed Ensemble Studio Theatre, where both were founding members and worked extensively. They went on to found the Ark Theatre Company in Soho, which specialized in identifying, developing, and presenting the early work of emerging artists such as Tony nominees and winners Julie Taymor, Michael Cerveris, Derek McLane, Jerry Zaks, Catherine Zuber, David Hyde Pierce, Zach Grenier, Bob Gunton, and Jonathan Hadary.

Among the Ark’s most acclaimed work were Ms. Taymor’s first New York productions: Way of Snow and Transposed Heads, which transferred to Lincoln Center; A.R. Gurney’s The Middle Ages (subsequently produced by The Shubert Organization and filmed as an ABC movie), and Starmites which went on to receive a Tony Nomination for Best Musical. In addition, four of Mr. Marcus’s plays were produced in New York and received significant critical attention—most notably Lumiere, starring the late J.T. Walsh. During her time in New York, Ms. Milligan became a familiar face across the country through appearances in numerous television commercials.

In 2015, at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA, Ms. Milligan, and Mr. Marcus co-produced a mixed-media adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald masterpiece, Babylon Revisited, under the Ark banner. That production innovatively crossbred film and theatre with Edmund Milligan Marcus directing its filmed content. Marcus pere co-adapted and co-directed the overall production. In 2017 Mr. Marcus’s play Intensive Care was produced in E.S.T.’s renowned Marathon, one of the nation’s pre-eminent one-act festivals.

As a writer/producer in Los Angeles, Mr. Marcus wrote over forty produced hours of television for series as diverse as Knots Landing and Young Riders, which appeared on CBS, ABC, Fox, and USA Network. In addition, Mr. Marcus worked for several years in London, where he was commissioned by leading UK companies (including Granada, Lime Pictures, and the BBC) to create and develop original drama series.

In addition to her theatre and film work, Ms. Milligan is also an accomplished visual artist. She studied at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and Central St. Martin’s and Camberwell College of Art in London. Her work has been shown in Los Angeles and London and is included in private collections in the US and UK.
