Catholic Hollywood director Thaddeus O'Sullivan recently sat down with ChurchPOP English 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 Irish Catholic 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 movie 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.
