In 2021, it was announced that Ley Line Entertainment would be producing the period drama filmOn Swift Horses, with their co-founder Tim Headington serving as one of the film’s producers.[5] The film premiered at the2024 Toronto International Film Festival, followed by a theatrical release in the US in April 2025, and received generally positive reviews:Metacritic, which uses aweighted 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 byVariety and theWashington 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.
