About
|
Akula Media was formed in 2006 under the mentorship of Hollywood Icon - Writer, Director - the late Michael Cimino as a corporate conduit for the writing team of Shainee Gabel and T. Rafael Cimino .
In 2014, Akula teamed up with Home Box Office to curate a portfolio of film projects ranging in a wide scope of genres, targeting diverse audiences. Since, it has blossomed into one of the entertainment industry's prime vehicles for film and television development. In 2021 Akula Literary Partners was formed. This revitalized structure includes new writers - including Oscar winner, Cuba Gooding, Junior. With new energy, an influx of capital, and a new creative vision, Akula re-framed its mission statement to tackle a variety of mediums and genres. Today we have an ambitious pallet of projects and we're poised to set a higher standard for emerging film and television properties - all with delivery to a wide variety of platforms. |

MISSION STATEMENT
We aim to develop projects that are true to our hearts with stories that depict social issues, free of political bias and divisive intent.
We aim to empower a diverse staff who, in turn, will create diverse characters to fill the world with emotion, through the power of creativity. We aim to tell stories that have been buried for decades - in some cases, centuries. We aim to expose social injustices through thoughtful scripting with the eventual goal of provoking global conversations. We aim to utilize the science of storytelling for the greater good by disparaging hate and inspiring love with a paradigm of balanced views from both liberals and conservatives to highlight the traits we all have in common. We aim to give all people a voice and the audience a unique viewing experience that will inspire change, soften hearts and lead the world to a better place through universal access and exposure to provocative insights. |
