I am the producer of the upcoming Lincoln Tomb Documentary. I was searching the web for a list of newspapers which have published the AP release about the project and discovered this thread.

I won't spam the forum with solicitations, rather for those who might be interested in the project, I invite you to follow the documentary blog at my website:

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. The teaser trailer was created for our Indiegogo campaign. The final film will incorporate interviews, narration, musical interludes, and potentially re-enactment scenes and computer renderings of the tomb at various stages...all depending on our funding tiers.

We have had a wealth of Lincoln enthusiasts contact us offering in-kind services, and yesterday received information from a former IL Capital Development Board employee about rare documents and photos which will be at our disposal.

Last, when the production is complete, ownership rights will be granted to the Lincoln Monument Association. They will sell the DVD in perpetuity to raise funds for the maintenace of the tomb. Every donation directly contributes to the preservation of the Lincoln Tomb.

Thank you much and thank you Angela for noticing the campaign and starting the discussion.

Dear Mr. Ryder,
thank you so much for chiming in to this thread! I found out about the project through an article on the State Journal-Register which I'm reading from Germany online.
I was very excited to read about this project since I have not come across any recent documentaries of this kind and wish you the greatest success.

While I can not really offer any support as a newbie on the Lincoln topic and a foreigner as well, I can hardly wait to obtain a copy of the film and here is where my questions start (I have SO many!).
I'd be very interested in learning about the options that you have mapped out on your website concerning the details of the documentary (the 3D rendering of the tomb and the actual burial ground) as well as how soon it would be possible to secure a copy which includes the first screening (since I am planning to be in the area next spring).

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask all these questions in order not to spam the forum, but I'd love to learn more about this project!
