SEDONA (The Movie) Released on Hulu and Hulu Plus
For more information go to:
www.sedonamovie.com
Sedona (The Movie), the delightful indie film starring Frances Fisher (Titanic), Seth Peterson (Burn Notice), Christopher Atkins (Blue Lagoon), Barry Corbin (Northern Exposure), Lin Shaye (Insidious), and Beth Grant (The Artist), is now available free on demand to viewers on Hulu.com and the Hulu Plus subscription service.
Dubbed the world’s very first “charming, inspirational, quirky, feel-good, magical, mystical adventure about finding miracles,” Sedona depicts the profound personal transformations of two stressed-out visitors over the course of one life-altering day in beautiful Sedona, AZ. After delighting a string of sold-out film festival audiences across the country in 2011, culminating with the prestigious Hollywood Film Festival, the film had a successful limited theatrical run in early 2012.
In the film, successful ad woman Tammy (Fisher) is driving from Portland to Phoenix to meet a big potential client when she’s run off the road by a small airplane making an emergency landing. At first infuriated by the eccentric locals, she gradually begins to suspect that she may have ended up in Sedona for a reason as she waits for an area mechanic to repair her car and faces her difficult past for the very first time. Meanwhile, amidst the towering red boulders, workaholic lawyer Scott (Peterson), his partner Eddie, and their two sons embark on a hiking trip that turns unexpectedly tense when seven-year-old Denny disappears into the sun-scorched landscape. As Scott searches frantically for his missing son, he realizes that his priorities have somehow gotten all mixed up and he begins to put his life into some much-needed perspective. With nightfall approaching, both Tammy and Scott find their skepticism about Sedona fading with the setting sun.
Hulu is an online TV service whose mission is to help people find and enjoy the world’s premium content when, where and how they want it. Viewers can watch Sedona free of charge whenever they want on Hulu.com, as well as Hulu Plus, which requires a subscription.

Sedona, AZ
Hike Bell Rock… one of Sedona’s
spiritual vortex centers.
The Rock is said to
energize and calm those
on its slopes. The bell-shaped
landmark rises 550 feet. It
is located on the northern
edge of the Village of
Oak Creek. It is just
West of Courthouse Butte.
Bell Rock is a butte —
composed of horizontally bedded
sedimentary rock.
It is a short climb.
You need to use your hands
to climb up the small
5-foot cliffs. You may need
to use your hands for
balance along the way. The
route to the right to the
top is easier.
Going up the 50-foot spire
is difficult, especially coming
down and you’ll need ropes
to finish the climb.
Like most of the red and
orange formations in Sedona,
Bell Rock is part of the
Schnebly Hill formation,
made up of sandstone
and limestone. It was
deposited at the bottom
of an island sea hundreds
of millions years ago.
Wind and water shaped
the rock over several
millions of years after
the sea receded. The
youngest rock on Bell
rock is Fort Apache
Limestone at the top…
272 millions years old.
It has several flat, wide
pathways which are
accessible from different
points off the highway. Great
for the casual stroller who
doesn’t want to hike up, but
wants a close look at the red
rock.
