Content

"Strategy Room" is a captivating video installation that features multiple rooms and screens, bringing to life General George Washington's strategic meeting on the eve of the crucial Battle of Princeton. This immersive experience takes place entirely within the historic Douglass House in Trenton.

The Douglass House, an authentic 18th-century building, served as Washington's actual headquarters before the battle and will be carefully dressed to reflect this era for both the filming and public display. Although this project commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Princeton, the short film will be installed as a lasting public exhibit at the Douglass House.

We are seeking to fill 12 roles for this production.
