*Skills are in screenwriting (particularly in science fiction and romantic comedy), acting (comedy, drama, voice work), and blogging (film analysis and critique). Welcome to my humble space! I'm Logan. I'm a writer and performer by trade. I graduated from the Motion Picture Institute of Michigan, where I honed my skills as a screenwriter. From my teen years into adulthood, I've performed in several stage productions and a few short films. More recently, I've taken up doing gigs as a voice actor and I'm currently working as a script writer for Taisen Kogeki, an upcoming martial arts fantasy drama. In my spare time, I've been working on my first book, a light novel combining elements of cyberpunk, horror, and detective fiction. Suffice it to say, I love exercising my creativity. Whether it's at my keyboard, on the stage, in front of a camera, or behind a microphone, I thrive on telling stories. More than that, I think great stories and compelling characters are important. They reflect our culture, our values, and what we aspire to. I have a lot of fun with the work I do, but I also take it very seriously. Like any career or vocation, I strive for excellence in my artistic endeavors. If anything I've said appeals to your sensibilities, I hope we can connect and collaborate. “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” -Martin Luther King Jr. "I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say 'he feels deeply, he feels tenderly.'" - Vincent van Gogh

Hi! My name is Kate Queen and I have been writing full-time for over 20 years, with a special emphasis in Film/TV. I've been on Upwork since it was Odesk in 2002 so I've seen and done it all, my film and marketing background is unique for those seeking explainer scripts that convert, ads that engage, short form videos to increase views or any other basic content that could use an elevated or cinematic feel with targeted intent. I'm extremely passionate about any job I take on and finding success for the clients I work for. I'm drawn to the fellow dreamers, ambitious enthusiasts, unhinged creatives, people who want to make the world a better place or tell a story that matters. I'm an expert on the financial side of Film as well as the creative with a skill set that includes: Scripting, Producing (both boots on the ground and the money kind), Directing, Fundraising, Marketing, Packaging (attaching name talent), Schedule, Budget, Negotiations, Administrative/Legal, and securing Distribution. I'm big on numbers - I've been trained to write for budget down to the nickel and my job is to keep movies safe, so I'm more of a straight shooter than most. I highly recommend a consultation before starting any film project because I can save you millions in one sentence or put you on the most realistic path for actual production at your budget and experience level. My company Queen Studios was created specifically to create more financially viable independent films. But I'm a pure artist at heart. I love writing scripts and working with other creatives to deliver their vision. Whether it's a passion project, a blockbuster dream, or something commercial that fits in with me and my company's financial models... you can't move in this industry without a great script and it's my joy to deliver them. Highlights (completed and can be verified on IMDb): I’m an Executive Producer on a sci-fi thriller film called EXPIRED starring Ryan Kwanten and Hugo Weaving. I’m a Co-Executive Producer on an action film called DARKNESS OF MAN with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Shannen Doherty - now on Hulu. I am the Writer, Producer, and Director of Michael Madsen's last film, a horror called SARA SARITA - also starring Kaili Thorne and Michael Pare. I wrote and produced a family comedy film called SALLY FLOSS starring Tara Reid, Eric Roberts, Todd Bridges, and Vernon Wells . I wrote and produced a dramatic feature currently in post starring Stacey Dash, Taryn Manning, and Spencer Breslin, called FOUR. I wrote and produced a horror film starring Jenna Jameson and Jesse Kove called ONLY SEVEN DAYS. I wrote a Romantic Comedy called DIY TOGETHER starring Michael Ansley Diaz and Jake Ryan. All the above credits and several more are verifiable on IMDB.

I am a professional screenwriter, editor, and script doctor who has written for CBS, Paramount+, Amazon, and Paramount Pictures.

A pilot of mine was produced by NBC, as well as a children's episodic for Cartoon Network and an animated pilot for Adult Swim. I've also done short-form comedy material for entities like The Onion, HBO, and National Lampoon. I've written faith-based material for PureFlix, Super Bowl commercials, and am the Head Writer for Monarch Wine - a digital magazine devoted to vino and music. Previous to my own professional career, I worked as an Oscar-nominated screenwriter's assistant for eight years, trusted with the editing, proofreading, and content development for a number of major studio projects. I work swiftly without sacrificing quality and am adept in a number of genres. I'm a mentor with the International Screenwriters' Association and have a BFA from Emerson College. I furthered my studies with the Act One program in Los Angeles. I'm a write-at-home dad and a night owl, with a prolific output that I'd love to put towards projects like yours.

I'm a highly-experienced scriptwriter, editor and TV, film and video producer with a track record of writing and producing projects that attract an audience and get results. I specialize in explainers, corporate films, non-profit videos, TV series, and other message-driven content. I was the creator and EP of the documentary series "NHL Trophy Case" for NHL Network, and was the producer, director, and writer for the series "Cash Cab" on Discovery Channel, which became one of the most successful TV series of the 2000s. I won three Emmy Awards for my work on that series. I've also produced reality series for MTV, MSNBC and others. I've produced and written videos and short films for corporations, non-profits, and other organizations such as Apple, Informatica, Palo Alto Networks, SoftServe Infragistics, Humane Society of the United States, CP Capital, University of Redlands, and dozens of other start-ups, brands and other organizations. I specialize in clever - sometimes comedic - wording and concepts, I know how to create and build a message-driven video, and have deep production knowledge as well as a large list of connections in the industry. I work closely with clients to create and develop concepts, write video scripts, design storyboards and then produce, direct and ultimately deliver highly effective videos and films. I'm incredibly talented, driven, and have a unique background that can make your project rise above the others. My clients include Apple, Palo Alto Networks, Informatica, SoftServe, Jivox, Appen, Feathery, Adobe, and others.
