Marcie’s, the latest feature from Seattle filmmaker John Helde, is premiering at the Northwest Film Forum on April 4 — nearly six years after the writer-director and his fleet of collaborators began work on it. 

“I’m thrilled,” Helde said of the long-time-coming release on a joint Zoom call with the movie’s lead actress, Jenn Ruzumna. “We’ve been waiting for this for some time … . So when those pieces actually finally fit together, it’s very exciting to see it get out in the world and get seen. That’s why you make movies.”
