Cast: Cole Escola (Mary Todd Lincoln), Conrad Ricamora (Mary's Husband), James Scully (Mary's Teacher), Bianca Leigh (Mary's Chaperone), Tony Macht (Mary's Husband's Assistant)

Notes: MP4 format. Filmed from side front mezzanine. Mix of wide shots and zooms. Pretty damn good filming here. Only flaws are the couch/lounge on the left being almost completely obscured, a head on the right at moments, and the longer (2 min) blackout to change my battery.
