Today we’d like to introduce you to Logan Fields.
Logan grew up surrounded by the film business. His uncle Joel silver is a producer responsible for some of the greatest action movies of all time (Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, The Matrix) and his father produced the fan favorite tv show Veronica Mars. He also spent several years working as a professional actor with roles on Veronica Mars and Scrubs.
A graduate of the prestigious USC film school Logan jumped onto the scene with his thesis film, a horror comedy titled Harvest. The short went on to run the festival circuit and pick up numerous awards including best short at the Portland Horror Film Festival. From there, Logan has spent the past several years in the music video and commercial world. Starting out, he just reached out to artists online and his client list grew from there. He has directed videos for big name artists like Young Thug, Rod Wave, Cupcakke, Hana and PJ. He has been writing and producing several TV projects and feature films over the last couple of years including Final Cut, a feature which he originally conceived during his time at USC.
Has it been a smooth road?
Always hard keeping yourself busy and motivated. Freelance life is really grueling and the lack of structure can really get to you. Also in the music video industry, it is a lot of work and hopes going into pitching on each project only to never hear back. Also, low-budget filmmaking always has its challenges for obvious reasons. Writing has been a real challenge, having the confidence to start something can be the hardest part.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with LoFi Films – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.
It is my personal company so the nice thing is I get to choose what projects I want to produce and be involved with. Right now, I am trying to transition out of the music video space and more into commercial and narrative work. In the process of collecting a good roster of reliable people to go to when we need them. Creatives, writers, directors, producers, cinematographers.
Majority of our projects thus far has been music videos, hip hop mainly.
I am most proud of the most recent short I co-produced and directed, a horror film.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
So much I love. I love how there’s everything I would want in a drivable distance. Skiing, desert, ocean. I think downtown, although it has its problems is home to a lot of amazing culture. Food. So much good food. Museums and galleries.
I grew up and still live on the beach so I really couldn’t live without it to be honest. And of course for movies and film and specifically the creation of those movies, no place better than LA.
ALTHOUGH. That being said LA makes it nearly impossible to shoot anything legally. You can get shut down with a DSLR in the park. I think it is idiotic and is pushing the industry everywhere but here. I shot something in Houston and well…I can compare the two some other time.
Worst mostly is with driving. Fuck parking in LA. Fuck driving anywhere in LA. The freeways still like a parking lot is maybe one of the most rage-inducing things possible. I dislike a lot of people in LA as well, just the fake bullshit attitude. If you’re going to be an asshole just do it instead of pretending like we are buddy-buddy or just avoiding stuff altogether. That being said, I’m sensitive so please fake a smile.
