In a world where Santa is real and wants to drum up some holiday spirit, two of Santa’s elves, Chuck and Debbie, devise a plan to grant one human on Earth three wishes to kickstart the holidays. Unfortunately, that human is Erin, who has lost all affection for the season. Even a blind date set up....

NEW YEAR….NEW DIGS!
As we say goodbye to 2021 - we also say goodbye to a 32-year love affair with THE DESIGNERS GUILD Building.
It has been the most joyful and humbling journey imaginable to have been blessed with this “home-away-from-home” office/business relationship. Leaving is both heartbreaking and exhilarating as we welcome a new chapter for LBC.

Our studio home will now be found at:
FilmNorth
Vandalia Tower
550 Vandalia Street - Suite 120
St Paul, MN 55114

A few highlights:
*Free Parking. Yes..you read that correctly. Free Parking! (the #1 reason we left the North Loop!)
*Private Entrance/Access to main-floor studio after hours / weekends. No elevators required!
*SK Coffee Bar - inside main lobby. Open weekdays 8am-4pm
*Lake Monster Brewing - just outside our doors!
* Wonderful artistic building & film community with FilmNorth.

Although things continue to change - we have not. Our number one priority is to service our clients to the best of our ability while
ensuring the actors and agents are respected, acknowledged and included in our collaborations. Most importantly….we better have some fun! Lots and lots and lots of FUN!

IF the last two years have taught us anything - it’s that life will continue to throw us curve balls. How we react is up to us.
We acknowledge we are blessed to have weathered the storm while others have not. We have never taken for granted our amazing and supportive clients during what was, and continues to be, a tough road.

We wish you all a New Year filled with good health, peaceful hearts and giant abundance of love.

We look forward to being together in 2022.

With gratitude beyond words…
Lynn & Brittany
LBC
