ATLANTA — Several action-packed films like “Bad Boys for Life” and “Coming 2 America: Quest” are currently being made in Georgia, in addition to several indie projects.
“Full Count” was produced independently in Atlanta. It is a faith-based story about an unfortunate chain of events that force a young baseball phenom to give up his dreams of playing college baseball and return home to the farm and town he fought so hard to escape.
It has received a Dove Seal of Approval for its integrity and faith themes.
The movie features John Paul Kakosin in his film debut as the young lead character.
The movie also stars Emmy-winner Natalia Livingston (General Hospital), E. Roger Mitchell (American Made, The Equalizer), Adam Boyer (Ozark, Superfly), Victoria Staley (I’m Not Ashamed, Prisoners), with 3-time Emmy winner Rick Hearst (General Hospital), Afemo Omilami (Forrest Gump, Hidden Figures) and Jason London (The Second Coming of Christ, Dazed and Confused).
In “Full Count,” life throws Milton Young (Kakos) a serious curve ball when he has to abandon his hard won college baseball aspirations to deal with a tragedy that puts the fate of his family and their farm in jeopardy.
Once he’s back home, he faces seemingly insurmountable economic and personal hardships including his father’s death, a devastating injury causing him disability, as well as being suspected of committing a crime that could send him to prison for life.
