TOCCOA, GA – THE MULLIGAN – A PARABLE OF SECOND CHANCES to premiere at The Historic Ritz Theater in Toccoa in April.
“Toccoa-Stephens County was the location of choice for THE MULLIGAN MOVIE production. We are proud to have been selected again by ReelWorks Studios, who also filmed WHEN WE LAST SPOKE in Toccoa, and are looking forward to the premiere in April,” says Julie Paysen, president of our Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of Commerce and our Georgia Film Liaison.
The game of golf often mirrors the game of life. Paul McAllister is discovering that the hard way. As they say, “it’s called golf because all of the other four-letter words are taken!” An intensely driven CEO of a successful international business, Paul is a success in everything—except life. Separated from his wife and estranged from his son, Paul’s steely-eyed focus remains solely on his next boardroom mega-deal. But like an errant tee-shot on a difficult hole, Paul’s life could use a do-over … a “mulligan” as golfers would say.
When the stress of life leads to an implosion on the golf course at a prestigious Pro-Am tournament, a humiliated Paul is left picking up the pieces of his broken life … and broken putter. Thankfully, his first steps toward a second chance are guided by a new-found friend, Will Dunn—known by everyone as “the Old Pro.” While Paul thinks the Old Pro will help him improve his golf game, he soon discovers a beloved mentor who is more focused on Paul’s priorities and purpose than his pitching and putting.
Based on the popular book by Wally Armstrong and Ken Blanchard, THE MULLIGAN is an inspiring reminder that second chances are only one step away. From the producer of BOBBY JONES: STROKE OF GENIUS, and the director-producer team behind THE ULTIMATE GIFT comes THE MULLIGAN, sporting an all-star cast that includes Eric Close (NASHVILLE, AMERICAN SNIPER) as Paul, Pat Boone as the Old Pro, and PGA golfer Tom Lehman and broadcasting legend Jim Nantz as themselves. Whether it’s a second shot during a friendly round, rediscovering lost priorities, or the opportunity to make something good of a situation gone bad, there are times we all could use a mulligan.
“We are so fortunate to meet such a wide variety of location resources from rural farmland to a quaint downtown, mountain and lakes. This is the seventh theatrical release that has been filmed in our area in recent years further validating Toccoa and Stephens County as a wonderful setting for a myriad of film production location needs. We are thrilled The Ritz will be home for our community to come together to celebrate the success we have experienced as home for film productions. Helping set us apart in North Georgia. We are proud of Toccoa-Stephens County and our growing emergence as a regional film production location, and we only expect it to grow.” according to Paysen.
Showtimes at The Historic Ritz in Toccoa are April 18, 19, 21 @ 7pm and April 23 @ 11am, 3pm, and 7pm. For more information and to purchase tickets available online go to VisitToccoa.com.
