The Anniversary

Logan Circle Films LLC was established in 2006 by Rob Piper and Stephen Mack after the two met in a local screenwriting group in Washington DC. They began by producing a short film together entitled Nathan before moving on to their first feature film collaboration with Last Winter, which won the Peer Gold award for Independent Feature at the 2009 DC Peer Awards. Not your average indie film company, Logan Circle Films is dedicated to making unique, compelling films of uncompromising artistic quality, films that are grounded in classical storytelling but also push the envelope of traditional sensibilities.
