Layne McDonald (Founder of LWM Studios) teams up with Walden Media and Fox to market “City of Ember”, a feature film due out on October 10, 2008. The film is an adaptation of a Children’s book classic and brings children and parents together in a very powerful film about believing in a better future. Bill Murray (“Ghost Busters”, “What About Bob?”), Tom Hands (“Castaway”, “Polar Express”, “Forest Gump”) and more bring this amazing story to life. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us,” mentions the 29 year old filmmaker (marketing director) as a smaller studio, to help the “Big Guys” (Walden/Fox) with a wonderful family film. We are happy to use our creative tools to push the advertising to more people that might not know about the film. There aren’t that many days left, so we are working hard and using everything we have to make sure the online marketing works decently.” LWM Studios is working on editing interviews, footage, and graphics, then producing online marketing media that ...

The first of two IndieCross CDs will be released in digital download and CD formats in late September. Produced by Layne McDonald, these song collections will be geared toward sharing the best of the independent christian artists across the country. The first CDs are mainly southern bands, but plans to expand the projects in coming years also cover Canada and English speaking musicians in Mexico. "This is an exciting time in Christianity. The passion to spread the message in love and without judgement is seeing much success." A local church has already witnessed over 7,000 baptisms this year, in Birmingham, Alabama. LWM Studios hopes that these CDs will help aid the effort to convert the country back to a God through love, grace, and hope for a better place for future generations. "This music is made to heal. We do want Jesus to come back, but while we are here, we might as well love on each other through the TRUE message of God. Jesus loves us all, no matter where we...

IndieCross (www.indiecross.org), founded by Layne McDonald, will start streaming the first episode of independent Christian music. The two hour show will be hosted by Layne and will feature twenty minute stretches of music, following quick messages by Layne about events, media, and faith-based messages. The show is a spin off of Layne's past radio show, called Club 139 Radio, which was aired in New York for a couple of months. Go to www.indiecross.org for more information about faith-base artist networking, or go to www.lwmstudios.com to see more productions Layne is working on.

The story is amazing, the location is breathtaking, and hardly anyone (outside the Catholic faith) knows it exists. That is all about to change. LWM Studios, a Birmingham-based production studio has been working on a tour video for the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, so that more people would be able to get to experience the Shrine than ever before. “There are many reasons for producing a ...
