LINCOLN
Shot on
location around Logan County, Dead Draw puts a heist worth 25
million dollars, a mysterious death and one frozen night to the
test. Headlining Lincoln Film Festival’s Saturday evening, Dead Draw
will screen at 7:30pm Hosted by Producer, Daniel Kolen.
“With only the support we received from the Central Illinois
community, we were able to complete filming Dead Draw and have the
film garner awards at international film festivals and secure a
distribution deal. We are excited to end our festival run where the
film began” said Kolen.
Local involvement was spread far and wide. Lincoln College hosted
film cast and crew providing the entire Olin-Sang dorm. The Heritage
in Flight Museum provided what the film crew called “a beautiful
space to film and spend our nights in Lincoln, a perfect location
for filming.”
The City of Lincoln, The Lincoln Police Department, Fire Department,
Logan County Highway Dept, and Logan County Sheriff's Department
kept the shoot safe while filming in Lincoln and provided police
vehicles. The City of Atlanta shut down the street outside the Palms
Grille and the museum next door, enabling some very specific shots
to be filmed.

Individuals in the community even stepped up to make the filming
happen including Kevin Lessen by providing his airplane, Bill Thomas for working
with filming in Atlanta and Craig Horsch with the Atlanta National Bank which is
a centerpiece to the film.
