Work In Progress
Heritage Film Project is currently in postproduction with "Joy Brown" and "The Piccirilli Factor", both scheduled for release in March, 2025. Most recently we have started production on "Looking for Edward Boccia", and "Andrew Young". For more information see below and sign up for our frequent updates on The Blog.
In The Piccirilli Factor, Montes-Bradley reconstructs the lost story of a family of Italian artisans and sculptors, tracing their origins in Tuscany to their pivotal role in shaping the urban landscapes of Washington and New York.

Joy Brown gained prominence in America as a pioneer in ancient techniques which she learned while working alongside master ceramists in Japan. The film, made over a period of three years in Connecticut, Japan and Shanghai, captures the complexity of the artist's approach to ceramics through her seemingly simple yet profound designs that continue to inspire many around the world.
Looking for Edward Boccia
"Looking for Edward Boccia" takes us on an journey of discovery as we learn about this American painter, poet and teacher. A passion for creating monumental panel paintings that take as their subject human experience such as the search for spirituality in a modern world, loss and longing means that Boccia’s work continues to have universal appeal in today’s world. An undiscovered great, Boccia has long been a favorite of art collectors, and his work is found in museums worldwide.
Andrew Young
Currently in production in Atlanta, Georgia, The Ambassador offers an intimate and profound exploration of the life and legacy of Andrew Young, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Mayor of Atlanta, and a pivotal figure in the Civil Rights Movement. Directed by Eduardo Montes-Bradley and initiated by producer Kiki Wilson, this documentary delves into Young's remarkable journey, from his close collaborations with Martin Luther King Jr., Desmond Tutu, and Nelson Mandela to his critical role in international negotiations during the Carter administration, addressing conflicts in Africa, Central America, and the Middle East. Through Young's reflections, the film captures a rich narrative of race, diplomacy, and leadership that defined the latter half of the 20th century. Following Montes-Bradley’s acclaimed portrayals of Julian Bond and Rita Dove, The Ambassador adds another vital dimension to the ongoing dialogue on race, justice, and international relations in the United States.
