"The LEI website was a valuable resource during the planning of our production in Lafayette, La. Having a database of all crew available in the area accessible via a very user-friendly interface made coordinating a shoot 1,800 miles from our offices a lot easier than it should have been. I’m a native of southwestern Louisiana myself and it makes me proud to see how much growth Lafayette is experiencing in this industry. Keep up the great work!"
