Acclaimed Faith-Based Film The Ground Beneath Our Feet to Screen at Nashville’s Historic Franklin Theatre on February 16
Franklin, TN – A nationally recognized faith-based feature film will be coming to Middle Tennessee this February as The Ground Beneath Our Feet screens at the historic Franklin Theatre on Sunday, February 16, at 7:00 PM.
Written and directed by award-winning young filmmaker Lauren Havel, The Ground Beneath Our Feet has been drawing widespread attention for its emotional depth, cinematic quality, and timely message of hope and renewal in a divided world. The Nashville-area screening coincides with the film’s nomination as a finalist for Best Evangelistic Production at the Crown Awards, taking place in Nashville the same week.
At just twenty years old, Havel has already established herself as a distinctive voice in independent Christian filmmaking. Her previous projects have garnered millions of views online and multiple awards, including the Young Filmmaker Award at the Christian Worldview Film Festival. The Ground Beneath Our Feet marks her most ambitious work to date.
Featuring a cast of over 200 actors and extras, the film stars Ellie McKean, a recent Jimmy Awards nominee, and Eric Boles, former NFL player and internationally recognized motivational speaker. The story explores personal loss, national tension, and the redemptive power of faith—inviting audiences to reflect on what truly anchors them when everything else feels uncertain.
Pre-release screenings across the country have sold out, with audiences praising the film as “remarkably beautiful” and “deeply moving.” The Franklin Theatre showing offers Middle Tennessee audiences a rare opportunity to experience the film on the big screen ahead of its wider release.
