Stronger

Master Sergeant Victor Raphael (Ulises Larramendi) is nearing the end of his military career when an explosion in Afghanistan leaves him injured. Back home, he is thrust into battle once again, but he hasn't been trained for this type of warfare. Physical rehabilitation is painful, and he has more to overcome than his physical injuries. His wife, Michelle (Angela Sweet), is distant, and their marriage seems to be held together only by her sense of duty.

Vic's first response is isolation, but that becomes a dead end. Feeling hopeless and alone, he is introduced to something new and uncomfortable---meeting in a community with others who have endured and survived some terrible things, with the scars to prove it, are brought into his life. It is easy to see that these unlikely heroes now live with a hope and purpose far beyond this life. Somehow, their trials have made them STRONGER. (from the website)

Ulises Larramendi

Ulises Larramendi is the lead actor in the movie STRONGER. This is his fourth film project; other films were Reflective Life Ministries’ First Love,  On Borrowed Time and Amerigeddon. The latter two are currently in post-production. Ulises has chosen to focus mainly on faith-based films since joining Actors, Models and Talent for Christ. Other acting experience was in live theater included playing "Coach" in That Championship Season; he received a Best Actor award for that role. 

For nearly 3 decades he has been actively involved in the restaurant business, which feeds his passion for hospitality. He currently owns two eateries in the North Houston area. Ulises, his wife, and their children reside in The Woodlands, Texas.

Ulises’ prayer is that his performances will honor God, first and foremost, and will also impact people’s lives, offering grace, restoring hope, and bringing them closer to Him. In portraying Vic, he hopes the story will remind all those struggling with PTSD that one can indeed accomplish all things through Christ, and that HE is the real source of strength in every circumstance.
