Witness a project 244 years in the making. Conceived and produced by Kean University students, with support of faculty, staff, alumni, and neighbors.

The film invites audiences to attend the wedding of future Founding Father John Jay to socialite Sarah Livingston, the daughter of the first governor of New Jersey. A colorful cast of characters leads the audience on an adventure around the mansion and grounds, as they experience the story through the eyes of "Lucious Horatio", a rambunctious young guest at the wedding,

Two versions of this film were created to give audience and museum-goers the exciting experience of feeling like they were actually there on this historic occasion.

A traditional version was filmed with wide angle lenses and in first-person perspective to put the audience in Lucious' shoes. And the 360° virtual reality version takes that experience to the next level. Using VR headsets, audiences are transported into a fully immersive environment - with the sights and sounds of the day all around them. It is not just a movie - it's a time machine.

Liberty Hall 360: Revolutionary Wedding was created through the collaboration of students, faculty, staff and alumni of Kean University across multiple disciplines like graphic design, history, communication, writing and theatre.

Liberty Hall 360: Revolutionary Wedding represents the past, present and future of Kean University.
