“Never fitting in has never felt so good.” – Mac Glitzy

Meet Mac Glitzy the non-binary, emo-trap recording artist and social media star (pronouns: they/them/theirs/dude) making music and content with a gothic flair while defying gender norms.

Born Mackenzie Roberts February 27, 1997 in the small rural community of New Martinsville W.V. to family of Italian American decent.

Glitzy’s content has gained a dedicated queer & emo following thanks to their spin on mixing pop-punk vocals, with metal-trap beats along with visual satire of colliding the worlds of glam and grunge together.

Glitzy’s first mixtape “Devil Baby” released on Soundcloud in 2019 featured many emo – soundcloud heavy weights, such as Attack on the Coast & Doc Hellish and gained attention of many underground music bloggers in the SoCal emo/trap community as well as radio interviews at Dash Radio & Casting Frontier.

Mac’s debut EP “Emo Trash Princess” released in Spring of 2020 on all music streaming platforms accompanied by music video visuals through production company NoFacefilms & Hollywood Gothic Productions for songs such as Teach You Right, Brain Freeze, E-girl Anthem, & M.O.N.E.Y. featuring Emo Flytrap & Foreign Hype.

Mac Glitzy identifies as non-binary (expressing characteristics not entirely male nor female. They/them/theirs) and hopes to be an advocate for LGBQT youth as well as shed light on mental health awareness with their own personal opticals overcoming anxiety disorder and depression.

Glitzy’s latest single & music video Bottom of the Ocean, released Feb. 19. 2021 directed by CherryWave on Youtube & all music streaming services explores coping with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety in a deep-sea, alternative fashion, emo dreamscape.

Bottom of the Ocean marries wavy hip-hop beats with Glitzy’s poppy moody lyrics are an unlikely mix but definitely quenches the thirst for something strongly needed in a growing overly saturated Soundcloud market. Bottom of the Ocean is a visually stunning emo-trap love story.

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.
