Logan George
Logan George, yeah, that name’s been popping up on indie film radars for the past few years—especially if you’re into those tense, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it thrillers. Take “Caroline” from 2018. That one’s not your typical Hollywood flick with big explosions or wild plot twists every five minutes. It’s way more grounded, all about the tiny details that stack up until you’re sitting on the edge of your seat. The storytelling? Super tight—kinda feels like someone dropped a camera into a tough family moment and just let it roll. No sugarcoating, just raw, real stuff.
Then there’s “Lockdown” (2019), which—yeah, the title says it all. It’s claustrophobic, tense, and honestly, you almost feel like you’re stuck in that room with the characters. The direction keeps things feeling immediate, like anything could unravel in a split second. George isn’t afraid to let silence drag out or to hold the camera a bit longer than you’d expect, which just cranks the suspense up.
And don’t sleep on “Mouse” (2017) either. It’s got this offbeat energy, the kind of short that leaves you with more questions than answers, in a good way. The vibe’s unsettling from the jump, and you can tell George loves to play with audience expectations—never quite letting things land the way you think they will.
What ties all his stuff together? There’s this knack for capturing those awkward, gritty moments people usually try to avoid. Nothing flashy, just honest filmmaking that sticks with you longer than you’d expect.
