Making "The Miracle Club": How a Catholic Hollywood Director Integrated Faith in Lourdes-Based Film

Catholic Hollywood director Thaddeus O'Sullivan recently sat down with ChurchPOP editor Jacqueline Burkepile to discuss his latest film, "The Miracle Club."
The film starring Kathy Bates, Maggie Smith, Agnes O’Casey, and Laura Linney, follows women in various stages of life who take a pilgrimage to Lourdes looking for a miracle.
O'Sullivan gives Burkepile a behind-the-scenes look at what happened on set, how they created the Lourdes-based set, how his Catholic roots impacted the film's creation, and what he hopes his Catholic audience will take from it.
He also provides a little history of his own Catholic upbringing.
Viewer warning/disclaimer: One scene in the film describes two instances of abortion. Viewer discretion is advised.

I have a feeling Lourdes could have been substituted for any other place of pilgrimage, Catholic or otherwise. Potentially it's a backdrop for a more personal story rather than the message of Lourdes itself.

FYI: Check your title: You need an "r" - should be "Lourdes-Based Film."
