In "MIRACLE DAY" Matthew (Adam Smith), a successful young artist, falls under the spell of a new pill that seems to drive his sexuality, creativity and career to new heights. Only later, after Matthew has introduced his friends and fiancée to the drug, do its buzz-killing side effects emerge. But was it worth it? And how do you settle for ordinary life after you've touched the divine? Miracle Day includes adult language and situations, and is recommended for mature audiences (17 and up). "MIRACLE DAY" is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, the nonprofit arts funding organization.Pre Production of "MIRACLE DAY" will be documented by associate producer/assistant director Jonathan Reed WEXLER in "Stage Life", a web TV series.
