About Dr. Layne McDonald

Filmmaker | Author | Musician | Teacher | Servant

​

I’ve spent my life walking the miles between boardrooms and backroads, film sets and faith circles, classrooms and churches — all with one purpose: to help creation draw closer to the Creator through creativity, conversation, and conviction.

​

I’ve been blessed to work alongside senators, presidents, studio CEOs in Hollywood, and music legends in Nashville. I’ve written books, produced films, taught young creatives, and led conversations that changed how people see faith and art. But for all the names and faces I’ve encountered, none compares to the name that changed everything — Jesus Christ.

​

My mission is simple: use every tool — film, writing, music, mentoring — to build bridges between Heaven and Earth. Every story, lyric, or lens is a prayer. Every classroom and film set is a mission field.

​

I don’t create to be seen — I create so others can see Him.

​

Because when creativity meets calling, lives change. And when calling becomes legacy, the world feels the heartbeat of the Creator through the hands of the created.
