I can finally unveil that I had ventured up to NYC at the request of Fraunces Tavern Museum for filming of their annual Washington's Farewell. On Dec 4th, 1783 after the final British soldiers evacuated the city, the American Revolution was finally over. Washington, being eager to relinquish control of the army and to head home to Mount Vernon, bid his officers farewell in a heartfelt speech before departing himself, towards congress in Annapolis. These moments were forever preserved within the memoir of one of the more famous attendees, LtCol. Ben Talmadge. Filming in the room where it actually happened, at Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhatta, was quite surreal. I portrayed Talmadge as well as doing the voice over in which I read his perspective of the event from his memoir. The content is now up on YouTube as well as a couple more links I've provided for you to check out. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9PWuIOA75z4" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CB-jpHi5BEY" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
