Another movie begins filming in Toccoa-Stephens County

ReelWorks Studios has started filming The Mulligan Movie in Toccoa-Stephens County.

Many of the film’s crew members were in downtown Toccoa on Tuesday and are expected to continue to be a presence as the movie is filmed.

Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of Commerce President and Toccoa’s Georgia Film Liaison Julie Paysen says this marks the seventh movies to begin production in Toccoa-Stephens County.

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.

McAllister finds himself separated from his wife and estranged from his semi-pro motocross son.

He has lost sight of what is important, and though he doesn’t know it yet is in great need of a mulligan.

Through an encounter with “the old pro” after a major breakdown on the golf course…McAllister 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 also includes 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 originally scheduled to begin a year ago; but ReelWorks Studios was forced to postpone the project due to the COVID Pandemic.

Filming began on April 6.
