The Italian Factor
We are presently supporting the efforts of the Heritage Film Project to produce a one-hour documentary film about the contributions of Italian artisans and sculptors to the American Renaicense. The film focuses primordially on the accomplishments of the Piccirilli, a family of talented.
Tuscan sculptors. The Piccirilli carved hundreds of public monuments, including the seated Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Expected release: October 2024

Joy Brown's World explores the life and works of the American-Japanesse artist Joy Brown.
The film takes us from Kent, Connecticut, to Shanghai
and Okinawa, revealing previously unrecorded
aspects of the traditional anagama wood-firing
technic, and the cast of monumental bronze works.
Expected release: October 2024
