“Dave Akin of EPK Louisiana is, simply put, the man. He knows what he is doing. To hire anybody else for your EPK is just silly. This is the guy who will masterfully maneuver himself around the set, ninja-style, getting every shot you need. He’s great with talent and he even pushed me to be a better producer. I remember reviewing the footage from our “Memphis Beat” shoot the following week, knowing that Dave really got the goods. Somehow, moments I didn’t even see made their way onto tape. The end product made me look good, but I really owe it all to Dave.”

“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 knows 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.”

“David Akin is a masterful film maker. His EPK creations for my son John Gulager’s films “Feast 2-Scared to Death Twice” and “Meet The Gulager’s” are remarkably compelling and evocative. He captures the essense of the movies, the film makers, and the actors, in the most scintillating style.”

“David Akin at EPK Louisiana is a tireless producer who brings out the best in cast and crew as he puts together an amazing end product for the studio.”

“David Akin is Louisiana. His southern honey fried comfort and his love of film and film makers combines to make him the perfect person to have on EPK in Louisiana. He knows when to be available and when to stay out of the way. He captured the majority of footage for his behind the scenes EPK documentaries without me even being aware he was there. The final product is shot beautifully, rich in detail and edited with pizazz. I cherish his behind the scenes documentaries as much as I do the films I was a part of.”
