TOCCOA, GA – ReelWorks Studios announces Toccoa-Stephens County
as location of choice for the filming of THE MULLIGAN MOVIE.
“Toccoa-Stephens County has
been selected as the location for THE MULLIGAN MOVIE production. We are proud
to have been selected again by ReelWorks Studios, who most recently produced
WHEN WE LAST SPOKE in Toccoa, as home-base for this project and look forward to
our seventh movie to begin production” says Julie Paysen, president of our
Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of Commerce and our Georgia Film Liaison.
THE MULLIGAN MOVIE is the
long-awaited film based on the impactful and inspirational book, THE MULLIGAN,
by the best selling author and business strategist Ken Blanchard and Former PGA
Touring Pro Wally Armstrong. The story centers around a pristine public image,
billion-dollar business executive, Paul McAllister, CEO of McAllister Inc. – an
international e-commerce company based in Atlanta, Georgia. Though he has an
outward appearance of success and confidence… behind the façade is a man in
turmoil with his personal life and his moral compass. Paul finds himself now
separated from his wife Rebecca, and estranged from his semi-pro motocross son,
Jake. He has lost sight of what is important, and though he doesn’t know it
yet…Paul is in great need of a mulligan. Through an encounter with
“the old pro” after a major breakdown on the golf course…Paul is faced with the
reality of a need for some major life changes that go far beyond his golf
swing. If you ever wanted a “do-over”…then this inspiring story of forgiveness
and second chances experienced by Paul McAllister is the shot of grace you
might be looking for.
“THE MULLIGAN MOVIE”
production team will also include a team of 60 students currently in the Film
Program at Liberty University, who will be mentored throughout the filming
process by professional crew members in various roles. Production was scheduled
to begin exactly a year ago in Toccoa, but ReelWorks Studios was forced to
postpone the project due to the national covid pandemic,” says Paysen.
The following is the
Official Statement from Rick Eldridge – CEO/Producer, ReelWorks Studios.
“Because
of the national emergency conditions related to the CoronaVirus we
unfortunately had to suspend production of THE MULLIGAN last year. We are now
very excited to be back in Toccoa and moving forward with the production of
this film. Many of the people of this community have become good friends over
the past several years of our work here.”
The newly anticipated schedule is as follows: Three weeks of final
prep beginning March 9th with first day of principle photography April 6th.”
“With THE MULLIGAN MOVIE,
our seventh movie production will soon be underway. We are proud of
Toccoa-Stephens County and our growing emergence as a regional film production
location.” Says Paysen.
