Logan Tindell

Early Life (2003 - 2021) -

Born in 2003, he spent the first few years of his childhood wanting to pursue palaeontology as a future career. He became infatuated with "Jurassic Park" (1993) - as well as the film's sequels - and started coming up with ideas for dinosaur films of his own. In 2009, his family moved to Lachen, Switzerland, where his fascination with filmmaking started. He became a fan of the sci-fi genre after watching "Star Wars" (1977) and the superhero-centered sub-genre after watching "Batman" (1989) and "Iron Man" (2008). He started conceiving his own stories for films associated with those two genres.

Moving back to Kent in 2011, the first filmmaker he properly started to recognize the work of was Steven Spielberg. Over the following 13 years and counting, he would recognize and idolise the films of Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Edgar Wright, Christopher Nolan, Hayao Miyazaki, John Hughes, and filmmaking duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.

From 2014, he wanted to find a school where he could learn about film academically; to no avail. Alternatively, throughout the 3 years he spent at St. Edmund's School in Canterbury, he was a prominent member of the Stage Crew which helped out behind-the-scenes for all of the school's prestigious drama productions. The closest he managed to get to a film-related course was studying both Photography and a course titled Creative Digital Media Production for his A-levels at The Whitstable School in Whitstable; he achieved distinction with both.

In 2020, he became interested in being affiliated with the animation industry after watching all the films of Studio Ghibli, the first season of "The Owl House" (which was new at the time), and rewatching the entirety of "Gravity Falls" (2012 - 2016); citing the show's creator Alex Hirsch as being prominent inspiration of his for writing comedy. He started to take up illustration as a hobby as a result; including gaining an interest in voice acting. However, when time came for him to decide what to study at University, he chose to focus on continuing his already decade-long pursuit to become a filmmaker and learn about the process of animation in his own personal time. He would focus on screenwriting at university therefore he can learn how to conceive coherent narratives to be adapted into either live-action or animation.

University Works (2021 - 2024) -

Around the same time, Tindell engaged to pursue learning about music theory and song production. After a long period of time following a few months in 2013 of him learning guitar, he reintroduced himself to the instrument in 2020. Over the next few years, he also proceeded to start learning bass, ukulele, melodica and has recently started learning piano.

He started university in 2021; and would have various roles in the film crews he worked with for the 3-year course. In early 2022, he was the director for a black-and-white short horror film called "I Want a Divorce", which follows a woman's investigation on her partner's sudden supernatural behaviour. It was filmed with a Bolex 16mm camera. A few months later, he was sound mixer for "Window Cleaner", a short thriller detailing a window cleaner becoming eerily obsessed over a large house and its wealthy inhabitants. Though Tindell is prominently interested in screenwriting, he tried being the sound mixer as a result of his ambition with music.

In 2023, he was a part of a small crew to create a short documentary called "A Maths Problem". The film explored a proclamation made by then-prime minister Rishi Sunak in which he wished mathematics being a mandatory subject for all kids nationwide to learn up until they are 18. In particular, the film elaborated how this would damage the future of the UK's internationally celebrated creative arts industry. His role in the crew was to educate the viewer on the country's creative arts industry, therefore he created an fictional historian parodying the character Bob Hale from the television adaptation of "Horrible Histories".

In 2024, Tindell was script supervisor for the short thriller "Photogenic", which showcases a lonely photographer becoming uncomfortably obsessed with his neighbour and her family; only to be forced to interact with her one night due to unfortunate circumstances.

In the same year, he wrote the screenplay for his grad-film: a crime comedy short called "The Extraordinary Marvel of Francesco Linguine". The film is about two friends discovering a dead body of a man floating on the River Thames; to which they then both exchange vibrant and absurd theories to reach a satisfying truth to how the man perished. The film's story was influenced prominently by the films of Guy Ritchie, alongside the narratives in the works of both Edgar Wright and Quentin Tarantino. The film won Best Student Drama at the 2025 Royal Television Society Southern Awards and would achieve 1st Runner up for Best Film at the 2024 winter showcase from the Alternative Film Festival in Toronto.

It was back during his first year of university when he started making "Welcome to the World of... the Kitchen Pimps", a documentary feature film showcasing the strong dynamic he shares with three of his housemates. It particularly shows how the dynamic evolves before and after one of Tindell's housemates leaves University early to start training for the marines. The idea of making a documentary feature film about him and his friends sparked for various reasons. At the time, he was watching documentaries for his course and was heavily underwhelmed at how they all carried grim topics that, despite their importance to be taught to audiences, exacerbated his attempts to escape reality.

Alongside acknowledging a substantial lack of films that accurately showcases life at university and visually elaborates the dynamic university students share with one another, Tindell started conceiving the idea for a documentary that does; with himself and his housemates as the film's subjects. The obscure title is a reference to one joke that strengthened the bond between the housemates. Tindell recorded a majority of the film with his small video camera, and edited it himself; it was released on YouTube in 2022.

The following year, he released "Return to the World of... the Kitchen Pimps"; a sequel documenting the group experiencing their second year of university, adjusting to private accommodation and dealing with the obstacles that come during early stages of adulthood. In 2024, he formed the trilogy by releasing the third and final film, "Anarchy to the World of... the Kitchen Pimps". The film showcased the group surviving their final chaotic year at university simultaneously each of their preparations on taking the leap to the next stage of their lives after graduation.
