Vertical Entertainment released Robert Eager’s Full Count to select theaters nationwide on October 25. It is currently available on VOD and on DVD at most major retailers.

The film tells the story of 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. The feature film has received a Dove Seal of Approval for its faith and integrity themes and content.

Full Count stars John Paul Kakos in his film debut as the lead character. The feature also stars Emmy winner Natalia Livingston (General Hospital), E. Roger Mitchell (American Made, The Equalizer), Adam Boyer (Ozark, Superfly), three-time Emmy winner Rick Hearst (General Hospital), Afeemo Omilami (Forrest Gump, Hidden Figures), Victoria Staley (I’m Not Ashamed, Prisoners) and Jason London (The Second Coming of Christ, Dazed and Confused).

Robert Eagar helmed the project as director, writer, and executive producer. Martin Kelley, Eddie Singleton, and Bennie Swint served as producers, and Jamie Wingler and Laron Austin served as co-producers. Veteran faith-based filmmaker Joth Riggs (Heartfall, Push) rounds out the producing team as consulting producer.

Life throws Milton Young (Kakos) a serious curveball 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.

An angelic drifter named David (Boyer) arrives on the farm to provide a helping hand and hope to Milton and his mother (Livingston). What emerges is a heartwarming story about perseverance, faith, triumph, and the struggle to never let go of a dream.

The film has a running time of 1 hour, 50 minutes.

John Paul Kakos’s parents are both from Fairfield County and have strong ties to the area. Paul Kakos is a 1985 graduate of Danbury High School and 1989 graduate of Western Connecticut State University, while Tracy (Pottinger) Kakos grew up in Sandy Hook and Newtown and was a 1985 graduate of Newtown High School and 1989 graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University.
