““EPIC is incredibly reliable, efficient, and most importantly to me, communicative. Casting non-union background has its specific challenges and EPIC/Elevate eliminates our worry about the talent being paid properly and on time. When EPIC pairs with Elevate, it is the most user-friendly voucher platform I have worked with to date. With payroll always taken care of, I am able to concentrate on casting the best background talent for all my projects.””
Chris W.Casting Director
“EPIC has made my life and the life of others so much easier. There is a team of people working off and on set almost 24/7 to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible….EPIC really makes things safer for the background artists and the production team no longer has to stay hours after wrap to count paper vouchers…my favorite feature in this system would be the ability to batch a group of people and check in/out, give bumps and input lunch times…saving the production so much time!”
