Born in Pittsburgh during the summer of 1981, a few short months later Logan Morley McCurdy was a hardened Cold War veteran. But when the duck n' cover drills were ended at his elementary school in 1987, he was able to finally just be a 6-year-old child.
A year later, with the theatrical release of Willow (1988), Logan found he related to Madmartigan more than he'd related to anyone else on earth before. It was clear that being a master swordsman was his destiny, until the following week when his neighborhood rival viciously and decisively defeated him in a single-combat duel with broomsticks.
Dejected, directionless, and withdrawn, Logan found comfort using the written word to express with honesty and humility the lessons he had learned, and would continue to write with that approach forever.
One of his most revealing and vulnerable poems, "Spaghetti" (1989), addressed his love for spaghetti, a love which consumed him to the degree that he saw it everywhere he looked. Through tear glossed eyes he wrote, "Grass looks like spaghetti to me and so does also hair look like spaghetti to me."
Several years later, The Last of the Mohicans (1992) was released, and Logan found a new calling as a frontiersman. Surrounded on all sides by the inner-city, that calling proved difficult, but upon the release of Tombstone (1993), his focus shifted to becoming a wild west gunslinger.
Absolutely nothing memorable, or anything holding any significance whatsoever, would occur for the next 27 years. But somewhere in that time frame Logan's passion and focus shifted entirely to the craft of storytelling through screenwriting, and in 2020 he signed his first feature script deal.
His stories focus on trials of the spirit, flaws in the human condition, the challenges of honest introspection, dealing with cruelty, experiencing heartbreak and loss, grief and suffering, and the beauty of kindness, compassion, and love.
His style of storytelling provides a unique approach to the genres of Adventure, Horror, Drama, and Comedy, using those perspectives to offer honest, challenging, and heartfelt looks at our existence.
