When God Entered the Set: The Kooman Brothers on the 12-Minute Take That Defined Daniel and the Fiery Furnace

For the Kooman Brothers, the set of Daniel and the Fiery Furnace felt like family—even with the challenges that come after twenty years of filmmaking. In this exclusive conversation with Paul Salfen, Matthew and Daniel Kooman open up about the rare twelve-minute takes of verbatim Scripture between Mena Massoud and Elijah Alexander, the moment the weather itself seemed to answer the prophetic words, and the holy reverence they believe biblical stories demand. From the long haul of getting the film made to the simple hope that audiences will test their own faith, the brothers talk about standing firm when everything is on the line.
