“No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight of the soul.” – Ingmar Bergman 1918-2007 |

 At EPK Louisiana we could not agree more with Mr. Bergman, one of cinema’s most iconic film directors. In our opinion, film is THE most all- encompassing form of art. The visual arts, literary arts, performing arts and the musical arts all merge to create the cinematic experience and transport us to magical worlds of imagination.
"David Akin is, literally, the “hardest working man in show biz.” He relentlessly stalks his (unaware) prey with the mind of the journalist, the eye of the cinematographer and the heart of the poet. I’ve seen Dave adapt to incredibly difficult circumstances (my Dad) and still get beautiful footage. His experience in the trenches is invaluable. He’s a hoot to be around but serious enough to get you more than you’ll need for your DVD. Sometimes your jaw drops when you see what he’s shot on your set, usually without even knowing he was there. On top of that, he seems to know everyone in Louisiana and know about every possible cool location. For me, he turned out to be quite an invaluable member of my team. I even cast his Mother in a key role."
-John Gulager
