Luis Bordeaux and Non Native are best known for producing Lil Tjay & 6lack’s “Callin My Phone”. Bordeaux was born to an immigrant couple in the Bronx, NY. Today he has used different cultural influences to create his work and is a self taught American record producer working in collaboration with Non Native.

Bordeaux is 24, and Union City’s Non Native is 20, together they are responsible for giving the world of music some infectious new Drill sound. They have together created 2020 superstars Fivio Foreign, Lil Tjay and the late-Pop Smoke. The duo has also been credited for one of the biggest singles in rap like Lil Tjay’s “Zoo York” and Meek Mill & Fivio Foreign’s “Demons & Goblins”. Even the chart-bursting H.E.R.‘s Saturday Night Live new single, “Hold” has been backed by the duo’s vision.

The self taught music producer, Luis Bordeaux says that his parents were first generation immigrants in America thus for him music became a way of making friends. Music bought all together and he got to learn a lot about different cultures through the music he listened to. All of it influenced his work.

For the dynamic duo, The Neptunes, are the biggest influences in their lives combined with their love for electronic music. All these influences have been a big part of their careers to create their own unique style of music. The works inspired them to create unique, delicate and soulful work.

Their working style is different from other producers. The duo likes to be in the same room when an artist is creating to be in the process completely. Non Native says both of them are in sync with what output they are looking for. He says, “We can flip flop seats at any time in a session and we both know exactly what to do and how to carry the session on.” They are looking at creating impactful work and have the same ambitions making them experiment in all areas of music.

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.
