Perspective
In December 2018, Theresa Steele Page and Tim Headington launched Ley Line Entertainment, a film and television production and finance company, additionally producing theater and music.[1]
The company's first film Light from Light directed by Paul Harrill had its world premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival in January 2019, and was released in November 2019, by Grasshopper Film.[2] Early projects from the company included an original musical produced in partnership with Grammy-winning music producer Max Martin, & Juliet; a documentary of Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson, Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road; and The Green Knight from writer and director David Lowery. The company recorded and released the soundtrack to Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road under its Tango Records label, which featured the original song "Right Where I Belong” co-written by Brian Wilson and Jim James. The company also produced Everything Everywhere All At Once alongside A24, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture and grossed over $100 million.[3][4]
In 2021, it was announced that Ley Line Entertainment would be producing the period drama film On Swift Horses, with their co-founder Tim Headington serving as one of the film’s producers.[5] The film premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, followed by a theatrical release in the US in April 2025, and received generally positive reviews: Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 65 out of 100, based on 21 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews. However, the marketing of the film was criticised by Variety and the Washington Blade for downplaying the movie’s focus on LGBTQ characters and relationships, and for the fact that some promotional materials did not mention that these relationships were in the film at all: Variety was critical of the marketing for not mentioning the fact that the film was “a gay love story” and described the film’s official synopses as “deliberately deceptive”, while the Washington Blade noted that the film’s promotional materials “avoid directly referencing the sexuality of its two main characters” and described this marketing tactic as “not just like a miscalculation, but a slap in the face.” [6] [7]
Ley Line Entertainment’s philanthropic efforts include a recurring grant in partnership with filmmaker David Lowery to the Austin Film Society’s North Texas Pioneer Film Fund.
