“The American Miracle” is a docudrama inspired by Michael Medved’s book of the same title. It states that God’s “providential hand” intervened in the founding of the United States. Douglas B. Maddox had a number of jobs on the film, including producer. We discuss:
– Switching from physics to film in college
– How he got involved with this project
– Getting Pat Boone and Richard Dreyfuss
– Shooting in Virginia
– Visual effects to create crowds, snow and cold breath
– Results of the national screenings
