    Inspired by actual events, “MVP” dramatizes the formation of Merging Vets & Players (MVP), and the film features military veterans and former professional athletes both in front of and behind the camera.

    “MVP” is a very special and unique opportunity to harness the power of film and storytelling to help strengthen minds and help our vets transition, to deal with life’s changes and struggles – by those who listen, understand, and can relate. The film was written by, directed by and stars former Green Beret, and NFL Player, Nate Boyer about and in support of Merging Vets and Players (MVP), a non-profit organization he co-founded with Fox Sports announcer Jay Glazer. MVP coaches vets and athletes to be proud of their scars, and to use what they experienced on the battlefield or football field to empower them.

    Whether it’s combat camouflage or a sports jersey, MVP members help each other find a new identity, — find greatness again — after the uniform comes off.

    “MVP” – executive produced by Sylvester Stallone – also stars Tom Arnold, Jarrod Bunch, Rich Eisen, Jay Glazer, Talia Jackson, Vietnam Veteran Dan Lauria, Mo McRae, Christina Ochoa and Dina Shihabi. Hall of Fame athletes Randy Couture, Tony Gonzalez, Howie Long and Michael Strahan all cameo as themselves.

    Compassionate Sedona?
    By Tommy Acosta
    Sedona is known throughout the world as a spiritual destination point where the land and those who live upon it march to the beat of a different drummer. Compassion. Love. Inclusivity and enlightenment are pillars upon which this community is sustained. Yet, something happened a few days ago that made me question if this is really true. I was at dinner at a local restaurant with a fellow community resident, whom I had always thought to be one of the most compassionate people in Sedona. Quite off-handedly my friend asked me how I felt about a city plan to provide safe parking for people who work in Sedona but have to live in their vehicles because they cannot afford the rent to live here, or even in Cottonwood. I said I thought it was a great idea and my friend’s expression went from calmness to shock. “I can’t believe you are telling me that with a straight face,” he gasped, as he dropped his fork on the table. “Do you know what you are saying.” Read more→
