About
(John Helde, 2025, USA, 113 min, in English) World Premiere
Marcie has a dream: to own Ed’s Tavern, where she’s bartender and den mother to a devoted small-town community. But when a developer sets his sights on Ed’s wooded land, Marcie’s future is upended. Determined to fight back, Marcie rallies her friends and neighbors, and finds that an endangered bird may hold the key to saving the tavern and the community she loves.
Filmed in North Bend, Georgetown, Chinatown International District, and Ballard/Crown Hill, this offbeat comedy/drama from Seattle director John Helde features an all Washington State cast and crew.
Starring Jenn Ruzumna, Miski Farah Ali, Reginald André Jackson, and Ryan Sanders, with Aaron Blakely, Alycia Delmore, Elena Flory-Barnes, Isis King, Eric Jordan, Merri Ann Osborne, John Paulsen, Ashley Salazar, Matt Smith.
Click for Accessibility Info
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum’s ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. All doors in Northwest Film Forum are non-motorized, and may require staff assistance to open. Our upstairs workshop room is not wheelchair accessible.
The majority of seats in our main cinema are 21″ wide from armrest to armrest; some seats are 19″ wide. We are working on creating the option of removable armrests!
We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter. Also available at the front desk is a Sensory Kit you can borrow, which includes a Communication Card, noise-reducing headphones, and fidget toys.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at suji@nwfilmforum.org. Our phone number (206-329-2629) is voicemail-only, but we check it often.
Made possible due to a grant from Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, in partnership with Sensory Access, our Sensory Access document presents a visual and descriptive walk-through of the NWFF space. View it in advance of attending an in-person event at bit.ly/nwffsocialnarrativepdf, in order to prepare yourself for the experience.
⚠️ COVID-19 Policies ⚠️
NWFF patrons will be strongly encouraged to wear masks that cover both nose and mouth while in the building. Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them. Recent variants of COVID-19 readily infect and spread between individuals regardless of vaccination status.
