REDDING, Calif. — A new film featuring local actors and shot in Redding and the surrounding area is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime.

“Miracle Mile,” a family-friendly road trip romantic comedy, showcases many local landmarks and is now accessible for immediate viewing or DVD purchase.

Mike Flanagan, a producer of the film presented by Mighty Men of Valor Studios, said, “It’s a movie with a message. It’s entertainment with some familiar faces and places.” Flanagan hopes the film will boost awareness of Redding and Shasta County nationally and internationally.

“It’s a good example of a character who has his mind set on reaching Redding because he’s in love, and he needs the help of his cranky grandfather and also a driver to get them here, who happens to be a wounded combat vet. So it’s a great testimony about perseverance and getting to where you need to go in life,” said Flanagan.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for us to show Redding and our area to the world through Amazon Prime. So if I learned anything, it’s really the importance of marketing and really tourism, because I like to think about Lord of the Rings and how that really put New Zealand on the map. And maybe if we can just get a portion of that kind of tourism coming to Redding, it’s really going to help us,” Flanagan continued.

For those interested in watching, be sure to search for “Miracle Mile 2024” to avoid confusion with a different film from 1988 about a nuclear holocaust.
