ACE, a feature film by Marquis Moodie

Help Us Bring ACE to Life: A Proof-of-Concept Trailer with a Purpose

Click this link: ACE Pitch Deck

This isn’t just a film.

This is a movement.

A voice for the unheard.

A story rooted in truth, pain, and the fight for justice.

ACE is a gritty, emotional, action-thriller about a dishonorably discharged soldier who returns home to Southside Chicago… only to lose the two people he loved most — his grandmother and younger sister — to a corrupt system that sees them as disposable.

Fueled by grief, truth, and purpose, Ace becomes the shadow that shakes the city — exposing the powerful, the corrupt, and the broken institutions that hide behind polished images.

Inspired by real life & pain. But Fueled by soul.
