					<description><![CDATA[Mr. Toro, I made Saving Lincoln within authentic photographs of the American Civil War. By combining elements of theater and cinema, we depict Commander-in-Chief Lincoln leading the nation through the entire war.

Saving Lincoln is the first feature film to do so since D.W Griffith&#x27;s Abraham Lincoln (1930), and we did it from the perspective of Lincoln&#x27;s closest friend in Washington, as well as his bodyguard, U.S. Marshal Ward Hill Lamon.

We captured the actorsâ performances on a green screen stage and composited them into three-dimensional environments created from vintage, glass-plate negatives from the Library of Congress. We matched camera angles with the work of pioneering photographers Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner.

I purposely mixed black &#038; white environments with color live-action, as well as a theatrical acting style, in order to create a film that is consistent with Ward Hill Lamonâs memory piece about Lincoln, and his own bold tone in his memoir, Recollections of Abraham Lincoln. 

Itâs a unique film experience â one which invites the audience to bring their own memories, intelligence and emotions to bear on the cinematic moment. People are returning again and again because they relish this opportunity. We&#x27;ve received positive reviews from senior critics Michael Medved, Jeffrey Lyons, and Kirk Honeycutt, as well as Film Forward, Film Journal International, American History Magazine and noted Lincoln expert Harold Holzer. 

I invite your readers to judge for themselves. We are currently on iTunes and Tugg and will soon appear on Amazon.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Gabe Toro whining about Tom Hooper? Well, that&#x27;s refreshing. As for Gabe&#x27;s question (&#034;How on Earth could you put the camera there, Tom Hooper?&#034;), I am sure that Hooper and his crew blocked the sequence, lit the set and then rehearsed with the actors. Afterwards, Hooper and co. would probably tweak the lighting before shooting the scene. Gabe, if you want to know any more of the basics about blocking a scene, let us know, OK? Then again, if you did know and you are trying to be the &#x27;funny&#x27;, it seems kinda tool-ish to be bitching about a filmmaker months after his film has been released. Some people like Hooper, others hate him, but - if you can&#x27;t review a completely unrelated film about Lincoln without throwing mud at Hooper - then you clearly have a weird fixation upon him.]]></description>
