Violence is seemingly constant in Opelousas. Local filmmaker EJ Tyler hopes his new movie will inspire change.

The film is called “Against All Odds.”

It’s the story of a man called Big E, who’s recently been released from prison. He decides to leave his criminal past behind and hopes to send a message to family members that people can change for the better. Tyler says the project grew to a much larger proportion than originally expected, with involvement from the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Department, Med Express, city government, and a local funeral home. Tyler invested 6 months in production and post-production.

“Against All Odds” premieres June 3rd at the Delta Grand Theater.
