Tull Family Theater hosting premiere of 'Movers Ultimate'

The Tull Family Theater will host the national red carpet premiere of “Movers Ultimate “on July 16. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the film screens at 7:30 p.m.

“Movers Ultimate,” an independent, 1990s-style comedy (NR, 90 minutes) features South Hills native Sé Marie, a triple Telly Award winner who persuaded her cast and crew to hold the red carpet premiere in the Pittsburgh region instead of Los Angeles.

“I’m really, really excited to bring this premiere home,” Sé Marie said.“The original thought was to have the event in LA, but I pushed hard for a Pittsburgh premiere.”

Originally from Jefferson Hills, Sé Marie (Majkowski) grew up with a heart for film and a thirst for adrenaline. Encouraged by her motocross racing family, she immersed herself in acrobatics, and sword fighting, and became a certified SCUBA and skydiver. With her extreme sports background and an Allegheny College degree in film production, she became a sportscaster for ESPN, the NFL Network and The CW. Dividing her time between Pittsburgh and Los Angeles, she gained an entree into acting as the stunt double for actresses Rachel McAdams and Vinesssa Shaw.

Sé Marie’s physicality led to her first acting role in the 2016 mockumentary “Career Opportunities in Organized Crime.” It premiered at the SXSW Festival and gained recognition as the first film shot in virtual reality. She also starred in “Artificial Existence,” which snagged more than 20 awards at Budapest, Houston and Jacksonville festivals, and earlier this summer, was recognized as Best Narrative Short at the Pittsburgh Independent Film Festival. Sé Marie, who was invited to the 2021 Venice Film Festival, also has a significant role in “Unsinkable,” which partly filmed in Pittsburgh, about the aftermath of the Titanic tragedy (release date TBD).

The actress became involved with The Tull Family Theater when her fiancé, Pittsburgh Emmy-winning rapper Harvey “Frzy” Daniels, joined its board of directors.

“I’m familiar with the theater and love the inclusivity of their programs for youth, special needs families and local artists,” Sé Marie said.

“We are honored to welcome both local and West Coast talent at this premiere,” said theater CEO Carolina Pais-Barreto Thor. “Since the pandemic, the theater has strengthened its partnerships with artists, making its state-of-the-art facilities available to showcase their work.”

In “Movers Ultimate,” Sé Marie plays the pivotal role of the daughter in a wealthy family, whose movers are rushing through the job to attend their high school reunion. She describes it as “a hilarious niche film that pays homage to movers and all they have to go through, with life lessons along the way.”
