For those who don’t know Compound, he is one of Los Angeles’s top rap prospects who has been gaining immediate traction in the last few years. What most don’t know about the thriving rapper is that everything didn’t always start easy due to him being incarcerated for a period of time. Even with these setbacks, the rapper has still found a way to generate success.

Compound grew up in Madison, which is a medium sized city located in Wisconsin. There, the artist would often get into trouble with the wrong crowds. This eventually landed him in federal prison. While in prison, Compound knew that he was destined for more and made a change once he got out.

Once released from prison, the rapper began putting his full energy into music. Not wanting to waste any more time, the rapper would network and find connections that would soon take him to the next level. In 2019, Compound released his first sound and now has amassed over 100,000 fans who listen to his music on Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms. He also has gone on to perform in front of 5,000 people.

Although prison was a setback for Compound, he realized how valuable his time was and went straight to work building his career. Being released with a fresh start was just what the rapper needed, and he has now gone on to perform in front of thousands and generate fans into the hundreds of thousands.

The film team is telling people not to miss this film as it won’t be in theaters again for another year. NCG Cinemas Tampa is one of the handpicked theaters in Florida showing ‘Christmas Eve’ a year in advance.

Packed crowds have come to advance screenings around the country with the film hot off the press (production wrapped in July). As a result, only select cities will be able to view the film in advance as there is not enough time to market the film nationwide until next year.

However, the fortunate few again will see the film a year in advance before the national release next year at NCG Cinemas starting November 7, 2025.

The film is already winning many people to Christ with reports of people coming to Christ in the theaters lobbies.

“Two of my friends came to Christ,” reported a theater-goer in Honolulu. “It’s a remarkable film about people coming to Christ on Christmas Eve’. Bring your Bible study group or church as they will be beyond blessed.”

Another theater-goer in Dallas said, “I was in tears on almost every story line. It is truly the best Christmas movie ever made. All of these are true stories.”

Another theater-goer in Atlanta said, “This is the most beautiful film I’ve ever seen. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime movie about how Jesus saved seven people on Christmas Eve. Powerful and just stunning. You shouldn’t miss it at all costs.

The film stars Kevin Sorbo, Michael Irvin, Stephen Baldwin, Nzinga Imani, Eric Roberts, Jermaine Wells, Jordan Laesch, David Jofre, et al. The film is based on seven incredible true stories going from the Victorian era through World War 1 through the Civil War all the way to the present day.

‘CHRISTMAS EVE’ – Advanced tickets go on sale soon.
