Gravitas has just dropped the official trailer for Marcie’s, a touching new drama written and directed by John Helde. Set to hit theaters on April 29th, 2025, the film follows the journey of Marcie Wood (played by Jenn Ruzumna), a bartender with big dreams of owning Ed’s Tavern and creating a future with her partner, Murph. As Marcie's dream inches closer to reality, she finds herself facing unexpected challenges that threaten not only her plans but also her carefully crafted life in a tight-knit community.
Marcie has worked tirelessly to build her life around Ed's Tavern, where she’s not just a bartender, but also a beloved "den mother" to a group of regulars. With only a few payments left before she officially owns the tavern, she envisions not only continuing her work but also starting a family with Murph. In an effort to create a buzz and breathe new life into the tavern, she enlists her friend Russell, a budding stand-up comedian, to host open mic nights and Sophie, a young political operative, to help build the tavern’s social media presence. But when new faces and unforeseen circumstances come into play, Marcie’s dream begins to unravel in ways she never anticipated.
The trailer for Marcie’s hints at a deep, emotional exploration of ambition, community, and the complexities of holding on to one’s dreams in the face of change. The film features a talented ensemble cast, including Miski Farah Ali, Reginald André Jackson, Ryan Sanders, Aaron Blakely, Alycia Delmore, and others, who bring rich depth to this heartfelt story.
With Marcie’s, director John Helde delivers a drama that promises to strike a balance between humor and heartfelt moments, offering a genuine portrayal of the struggles and triumphs that come with pursuing one's dreams. As Marcie fights to protect the life she’s worked for, Marcie’s becomes a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between holding on to what we love and embracing inevitable change.
