Logan Crow, an Email, and the Birth of The Frida Cinema

Logan Crow, a Found Email, and the Birth of The Frida Cinema

Logan Crow knows something about meeting the right people at the right time and how simple acts can change one’s life. Crow is the founder and Executive Director of The Frida Cinema in Santa Ana. But to get there, Logan Crow had to take a journey that began with finding an email while looking for another and discovering a message that would turn into a meeting which would then give birth to The Frida Cinema. Sometimes, life can be just that simple.

Crow sat down with PalacioMagazine.com to share the fantastical journey he’s taken from Long Beach Cinematheque to MondoCelluloid.com, the annual Halloween festival event Long Beach Zombie Walk to his dream day job, The Frida Cinema.
