We chat with NateBoyer37 about his MVPTheMovie, which premieres tonight. He shared why his organization VetsandPlayers is so important, how he & Mo McRae found their characters' chemistry, and what he hopes audiences take away from the story:
Many may not link athletes and veterans together in their minds, but new film MVP makes a strong case for why they both deserve more recognition. Directed by Nate Boyer, who also co-wrote the screenplay alongside Geraint Jones, MVP is a story about a retired NFL player named Will Phillips , who is struggling with life after the game. Upon connecting with a homeless veteran named Zephyr , the two discover a new way to channel their pain.
That has to still be a part of what I'm doing in my life. Even if it's storytelling, that has to be an element of the storytelling, or it just doesn't fulfill me. Maybe that comes from a selfish place, because it feels good to do good things. But that is who I am now—good, bad, or indifferent—and I can't be anybody else.
It's that same mentality with directing. I didn't really have the experience, but I had the desire and the passion and the interest. I love authentic stories, and I don't care how gritty they are. I'm not a huge blockbuster kind of guy, though some of those movies are great. The ones that really speak to me are genuine stories, where I can really relate to the words I'm hearing and the emotions I'm seeing onscreen.
Nate Boyer: Very collaborative. First of all, Geraint Jones is also a veteran. He served in the British military; he's a novelist and a super talented guy—and one of the fastest writers I've ever met, which is awesome. He'll bang out a 25-page outline in like a day. Not only did we come up with an outline and a first draft, we would send it to a dozen people and get notes.
Natr Boyer: I'm a people person, I love to get to know people and understand why they feel the way they feel. What makes them upset? What do they want to talk about? What do they gravitate towards? What hurts them? What experiences brought you to this place? Why do you act?
