Elle Ullmann has been part of the entertainment industry for her whole life, shaping her into an expert on scaling within it. As the CEO and founder of MELT Music and Media Agency, Elle has been using her knowledge to help aspiring artists and influencers become successful.

By the time she created MELT, Elle already had multiple companies, including water sport apparel brand RU3 Performance and a surf and skate shop named Hashtag Board Co. When starting the agency, Elle simply took on a few artists to start and brokered some licensing deals, which eventually took off.

Elle has taken MELT a long way, thanks to her vast knowledge of the entertainment industry. Nowadays, she manages artists and influencers, gives e-sports players platforms to scale, and creates events for the groups to appear at.

One such event is the Houston Fusion Fest, which MELT partnered on with Rap-A-Lot Records. It’s planned for the last week of spring 2021, and will fuse music with gaming. Elle has put hours of research into planning this event, from studying venues to music to the culture surrounding the area.

“In entertainment, authenticity matters more than reach,” Elle says. By educating oneself on a subject, they’re not only benefiting their clients, but also their business.

This has allowed her the opportunity to start the Reel Heroes Mentorship series through MELT, where she interviews guests for clients to learn from. By doing this and giving others the information and resources needed to establish stable careers, Elle is fulfilling her passion.

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
