As Easter approaches, it's a good time to reflect on one of our favorite TV productions I worked on, Miracle Quest, on Travel Channel. From the stigmata of Padre Pio in Italy, or the many miraculous visions of The Virgin in France, to the rebirth of the American Indian White Buffalo tradition, this series provides viewers with a sense of adventure and open-minded curiosity as it examines the theories, questions the authorities, and speaks with those who've experienced miracles first-hand.
The teaser below takes you to the first stop, Italy, to meet Vatican experts, locals, and believers who come from all over the world, moved by their faith. Our travels through Italy's historic cities and countryside, from coast to coast, navigating the mountainous terrains and active volcanoes, gave us unique access to those that have experienced miracles. I was fortunate enough to be the Director of Photography alongside two brilliant women, multilingual producer & director Mathilde Bittner, and host & theology expert Flavia Colgan. Shooting multiple locations in approximately one week, was not without its challenges. The budget was snug for sure, requiring us to use second tier equipment to get top tier results. The support crew were young and hungry and learning curves were steep, but everyone stepped up, and took on the day to day challenge. Many have gone on to be brilliant directors, producers and visionaries in their own right, like James Mann & Matt Hobin. Mathilde had a clear vision and always communicated it with grace, despite sometimes little sleep due to last minute logistical changes, or rewrites. What a model she was, setting the tone for everyone. NEXT STOP: FRANCE "Like" this post if you'd like us to post more clips.
