THE MANY MIRACLES OF “HOUSEHOLD SAINTS”

In keeping with the intergenerational magic of Household Saints, filmmaker Martina Savoca-Guay has crafted a compelling documentary, The Many Miracles of Household Saints, revealing the improbable story behind the making of the film. It’s a fitting work, since director Nancy Savoca was pregnant during the shoot and Savoca-Guay was the baby she carried. Combining behind-the-scenes footage from the set as well as contemporary interviews with Savoca, author Francine Prose, and producer Rich Guay (her dad), Savoca-Guay has created an homage to a remarkable American independent film and to her own filmmaking heritage. ~SM
