NASHVILLE, Aug. 1, 2024 /Christian Newswire/ -- GND Media Group, in association with Pure Flix, is thrilled to announce a special partnership for the national release of the highly anticipated film AVERAGE JOE in theaters this October through Fathom.

AVERAGE JOE is based on the life of US Marine (ret.) and high school football coach Joseph Kennedy and details his fight for his marriage, job and religious freedom when all of the odds were stacked against him. Starring Eric Close ("Nashville," AMERICAN SNIPER, "Suits") and Amy Acker (ORDINARY ANGELS, "Person of Interest," "Alias"), and directed by Emmy Award winning Harold Cronk (GOD'S NOT DEAD, UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION), this powerful movie serves as a tribute to the unwavering strength of faith and the human spirit.
 
"Coach Kennedy is an inspiration, and his journey resonated deeply with individuals across diverse faith backgrounds.  We're excited to collaborate with GND Media Group on this film, which conveys a powerful and important message," said Bill Abbott, CEO of Great American Media. "The ongoing struggle for religious liberty and freedom of speech is very real and remains a critical issue, and we're privileged to share Coach Joe Kennedy's landmark story."
 
The teaser trailer is now available at www.AverageJoeMovie.com, and ticketing will be available soon at Fathom's web site.

"Pure Flix has an exceptional reputation for bringing quality entertainment in the faith and family space, and we could not be more proud to collaborate on the release of AVERAGE JOE," added producer Bob Katz "We have full confidence their partnership will take this film to greater levels of success."
