Details

From local filmmaker Lauren Havel, The Ground Beneath Our Feet is the 18-year-old's third feature film.

Havel decided to pursue filmmaking after attending a film camp at thirteen. Later that year, with the support of her mom, she created her first short film, I Hate Kate, which went viral on YouTube, amassing over 7.5 million views.

At fourteen, Lauren and her mom began working on a full-length feature film on screen addiction. They completed it in over a year despite covid lockdowns and subsequent restrictions. Lauren was presented with The Young Filmmaker Award for “Screened In” at the 2021 Christian Worldview Film Festival.

Lauren’s second feature film is about a dyslexic artist seeking her place in the world. Having been viewed over 4.5 million times on one platform alone, “Not Broken” is among the most popular movies Lauren’s distributor has ever released. With a budget of only $10,000, “Not Broken” has already turned a profit, putting it in the top 3% of indie films. The drama has proven popular internationally, with one university incorporating the movie’s contents into its curriculum.

Lauren’s latest film, “The Ground Beneath Our Feet,” was her most daunting project, involving over two hundred actors and extras. Currently in post-production, this movie is a cautionary tale about what becomes of a nation that turns its back on God. Flipping back and forth between two eras, the film seamlessly merges two stories into one.
