Martel said, The film isnt strictly autobiographical, but what I put in it is my personal experience in life, my memories. When I was in my teens, I was a very religious person. I thought I had a special relationship with God, or anything that was up there. Now, I dont believe in miracles, but I do believe in the emotion you feel in front of a miracle the emotion of something unexpected revealed to you. ........
