Two More Urdahl Movies Coming Out This Year

Dean Urdahl has two more movies coming out this year that will continue the “Uprising” series of films that he has produced in recent years. The next two films deal with the events leading up to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

Urdahl says the film “Tangled Web” will have its world premiere April 28th, 29th and 30th at 7 p.m. each evening at the Hollywood Theater in downtown Litchfield. He says this film will wrap up the Indian Wars that began in Minnesota in 1862 and will start to look into the plots to assassinate Lincoln.

Urdahl says the second film “Lincoln and Booth” will explore the various plots – one of which was to kidnap the President, but evolved into Booth shooting Lincoln. He says that film is expected to be released in late August or early September.

Urdahl says the director of the films, Christopher Forbes of Augusta, Georgia, had a couple of setbacks recently in which the film distributor, ITN which would help finance the films, dropped them, and then his wife and daughter were involved in an automobile accident which required Chris to care for them rather than spending time editing the films, so they have started a Go Fund Me page to help finish the film editing process.

Urdahl says if anyone is willing to help, they can email him at urdahls@hotmail.com and then he will send the Go Fund Me link. He says he doesn’t make any money on these low-budget films; they are just meant to entertain and educate people and they’ve been produced using local actors and local landmarks such as the G.A.R. Hall, Litchfield Opera House, Rosemary Home, the former residence of State Senator Steve Dille, and the Forest City Stockade.
