ALBUM OVERVIEW While he may be considered a “new” artist, Fervent Records’ newly signed singer-songwriter Chris August is anything but a rookie in the music industry. The self-taught pianist, guitarist, and producer previously toured as the keyboard player and opening act for pop sensation Ashlee Simpson before shifting his focus to his solo career. Chris, a native of Dallas, Texas, put his refined skill set to work when he co-produced his debut record with acclaimed producer Ed Cash. While he is not one to shy away from writing about his faith, Chris isn’t afraid to embrace relationships and heartache in his songwriting. Chris cites influences such as Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, and Gavin DeGraw who all contributed to the polished pop/rock sound that is sure to resonate with all who listen. The lead single “Starry Night” released to radio on May 14.

LORENZO’S OIL
STREET DATE: AUGUST 31, 2010 ORDER DUE DATE: AUGUST 13, 2010 RUN TIME: 136 MIN RATING: PG-13 (A Child's Life Threatening Ordeal) FILE UNDER: VHGNXX GENRE: INSPIRATIONAL PKG: AMARAY
DVD OVERVIEW: LORENZO'S OIL is the remarkable true story of a Christian couple's faith in God as they battle against time and the medical establishment to save their son's life. LORENZO'S OIL is emotionally intense and a powerful testimony to the power of prayer and faith in God. The mother and father's love for the child serves as a model of perseverance.
LORENZO'S OIL Review:
MovieGuide.org BASED ON a true story, LORENZO'S OIL tells about Lorenzo Odone, a 9-year-old boy who is struck down by a rare disease called Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), which causes degeneration of the brain. ALD is a genetic disorder carried down from mother to male offspring. Because of ALD, Lorenzo does not have the ability to produce a certain enzyme that keeps fat from building up in his blood. Consequently, Lorenzo degenerates from a healthy, active boy into a withered, frail, hairless child who can't walk, talk, swallow, or see, and he suffers from seizures that cause him to tremble, scream and choke. His faithful and determined parents Augusto (Nick Nolte) and Michaela (Susan Sarandon) Odone begin conducting their own research. The couple discover an antidote, a medicinal oil. When Lorenzo adds this oil to his diet, it stabilizes the fat in his blood. By 14, he is able to see and communicate with simple sounds. The oil is coined LORENZO'S OIL and is now given to boys suffering from ALD. LORENZO'S OIL is emotionally intense and a powerful testimony to the power of prayer and faith in God. The mother and father's love for the child serves as a model of perseverance.
