Thank you Nate Boyer for including my brother and his brothers' story in this powerful film.
"On the streets of Hollywood, a recently retired NFL player is saved from scandal by a homeless veteran. With their “glory days” behind them, the two men bond in search of purpose and identity. Inspired by actual events, MVP dramatizes the formation of Merging Vets & Players and features both military veterans and former professional athletes in front of and behind the camera."

"Margarita Reyes is the sister of Elias Reyes Jr. Elias who served with Second Battalion, Seventh Marines (2004-2008). In April 2014, Elias lost his life to suicide. Since then, Margarita has devoted her life to ending the veteran suicide epidemic. When she lost her brother, 2/7 veterans supported her family through the devastating loss. The suicides from her brother’s battalion continued to rise and she wanted to do more."
Margarita founded Inspire Love Media, Inc. in response to the needs of filmmakers who are, many times, navigating indie filmmaking with little support.
