Though popular in Europe, Akin's work is relatively unknown in the US. He presents stories of a changing Europe, where national identity is challenged as much by international cultural influences as by actual immigration. Mt. Airy Arts Garage Akin's particular concern is the Turkish community in Germany and how individual identity is created at the intersection of opposing German and Turkish expectations. We are excited to present KEBAB CONNECTION, the kung fu comedy that he co-wrote. In KEBAB CONNECTION Ibo, an aspiring filmmaker, creates a rhapsodic commercial for his uncle's snack shack in a bid to impress the big-time producers and direct Germany?s first kung fu feature movie. Things are looking good until his girlfriend finds herself pregnant and his father disowns him. Where will the hapless Ibo find himself a break. Lucky for him, his guardian angel looks an awful lot like Bruce Lee. 3/13/2010 Showcase YOUR Talent!Registration is open for The Philly Showcase!
