Another Lincoln Movie

[Salvador Litvak]

Greetings, fellow members of the Lincoln Discussion Symposium! We have good news to share about Saving Lincoln!

Recall that Saving Lincoln is the true story of Abraham Lincoln and his bodyguard, Ward Hill Lamon, featuring sets created from actual Civil War photographs through a process I invented called CineCollage.

The movie will open in theaters on February 15 including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington DC, Lake Park, FL, Wilmington, DE, and Boulder, CO. We'll be announcing more cities soon.

Saving Lincoln will debut on Feb 11 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield as part of the annual Abraham Lincoln Association Symposium. This screening is open to the public, though seating is limited. I will be appearing and doing a Q&A session after the movie.

I will also be appearing in New York on February 16, and doing a Q&A after the 7:40 showing at the Quad Cinema. It is a great honor to announce that I will be joined by Harold Holzer during that session.

Right now we are running a Kickstarter campaign to support and expand the film's release, and to connect directly with our audience. Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects, and our campaign has become a big success thanks to the support of folks who are as passionate about Abraham Lincoln as we are. There are great rewards for every level of support, starting at $5.

Our most popular reward level includes the DVD and other gifts for $25 (including shipping), and our backers will be among the first to watch the DVD. At higher levels, you can get your name in the credits, and there are even a limited number of tickets available for the Red Carpet Premiere in LA. What's great is that people can choose exactly how much support they want to show for this unique film.

You can see our trailer and learn more about our innovative approach to filmmaking and film distribution by visiting our Kickstarter page: http://kck.st/RV4QOh

We'd be honored to have members of the Lincoln Discussion Symposium join us. Please note however, that these opportunities end when our Kickstarter campaign closes on January 29th at 6:00pm Pacific.

Thereafter, the best place to learn about the film is SavingLincoln.com. We also post new content every day about Abraham Lincoln, Ward Hill Lamon, Civil War veterans and Civil War photography at Facebook.com/SavingLincoln, where we are rapidly approaching 50,000 fans.
