Today we’d like to introduce you to Logan Graves.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
All my life I have loved films, I grew up a huge fan of the film super 8 and so many other classic films and tv shows. I started my career out as an extra, working on student films and working for productions like Apple TV. Growing up in VA the first thing I ever auditioned for was an open casting call for Steven Spielbergs Lincoln.a year of so after graduated high school in 2020, I begin doing extra work with a passion realizing I wanted to have a career in the entertainment industry. I was working on the Francis Ford Coppola film megalopolis in Atlanta and decided I wanted to really go for it and moved to Atlanta. Living in my car trying to get an agent while doing extra work it was a constant effort trying to break through and get an agent and begin auditioning for first team cast member roles. Eventually I signed with an agency and started booking cast member roles as well working crew. I moved back to my home state VA and continue auditioning for cast member Roles via self tapes and have written my screen play Strange Skies. While recently finishing working crew on a documentary in D.C and currently working crew at a regional theater.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has definitely been a journey. In my opinion I feel this industry is very hard to navigate and very hard to begin a career in. I’ve faced many challenges of trying to book jobs and for pitching myself. For my script and upcoming project strange skies, securing funding and trying to navigate the best steps for the project can always be a learning experience. It’s still a lot of fun! And I’m so passionate about story telling.!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m an actor and filmmaker, Ive worked on projects as an extra as a 1st team cast member and crew member. I started off as a extra and little by little worked my way to signing with a agent and booking cast member and crew member roles, I’ve finished writing my screen play Strange Skies which follows the story of missing persons and UFO sightings in Lenora,Oregon. Through the lens of a group of Highschool Seniors navigating the terrors of their senior year and union of Their small town.
I’ve worked with company’s such as Apple TV, NBC and worked this year at the Sundance Film Festival.
