A new hour-long feature documentary, Augustus Saint-Gaudens: Master of American Sculpture, was produced by the Trustees of the Saint-Gaudens Memorial with assistance from the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. Paul Sanderson, of Our Town Films, Inc. is the film's producer and director.

There was a special screening of the film at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, on February 12th, 2009. A 12 minute podcast with film maker, Paul Sanderson, was made at that time and is available on the National Gallery website under podcasts.

The film recently appeared on New Hampshire Public Television and will be shown on national PBS in late summer 2009. It will be available for sale in a DVD format on June 8, 2009, through PBS Home Videos, and will also be available at the park's museum shop.

Although millions today see Saint-Gaudens’ work in museums and public places, few know the man behind the art. The film will introduce new audiences to this artist and his work and show how he influenced American cultural life through the art of sculpture and as teacher and supporter of the arts. The documentary will cover Saint-Gaudens life, from his birth in Dublin, Ireland, and childhood in New York City, through his rise to prominence in the art world both in Europe and the United States, and his continued legacy as one of the country’s greatest artists.
