Biography

The Hong Kong film industry has found its spokesperson -- Bey Logan.

Logan's started defending this cinema in the English magazines Combat and Impact a while ago, then in his famous audio commentaries on HK Legends DVDs. Currently based in Hong Kong with his family, he's taken part in film producion and distribution.

Born in England, Logan has been fascinated by Hong Kong cinema since his childhood. A martial artist and a true fan, he writes down his love for this cinema in various magazines and also publishes a book called 'Hong Kong Action Cinema.'

After relocating in Hong Kong in the mid-1990s, Logan makes friends with Donnie Yen and gets involvedin front of the camera in several of his films (Circus Kid, Ballistic Kiss and Legend of the Wolf).

Logan also worked for several local production and distribution companies, such as Media Asia Group and Emperor Multimedia Group (EMG). In 2003, he founded his own production company “Shankara Productions”, and admits that he is more at ease behind the camera as a producer and scriptwriter. Which never stopped his numerous friends in the industry to call upon him for various gweilo parts (Twins Effect, Hit Team 2, Infernal Affairs 2 and Wong Kar-wai's 2046).

Logan describes himself as a person of communication, a kind of evangelist of the Hong Kong cinema. In the English speaking world, he is renowned as a genuine expert in Cantonese cinema, and it is true that he is never short of stories and anecdotes in his now legendary audio commentaries.

In October 2005, Bey joined the Weinstein Company as Vice-president of Asian Acquisitions and Co-production and launched the video label Dragon Dynasty, wherein he does with more resources and time what he used to do with the HK Legends label : interviews, documentaries, commentaries, etc.

With Dragon Dynasty, Logan vows to share his knowledge on HK and Asian films and to decipher the making of some of the best action films ever made.

In 2011, Logan has bought all the marketing materials from all the Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, D&B films shot between 1968 and 1995. The site http://www.reeleast.com proposes memorabilia, clothing and training gear.
