Tim Rhys, Editor/Publisher of "MovieMaker" magazine:
“Logan's Syndrome is that rare documentary which not only allows the viewer to empathize with and learn from a sensitive portrayal of its subject but also empowers that subject by allowing him to describe his world in a disarmingly unabashed light. By navigating the subject's world with him in such a raw, real way, Logan's Syndrome shows us that the only victims are those who underestimate the resiliency of the human spirit.”

“This film is not just another documentary. It provides a frank, behind-the-scenes look at a young man who has disabilities but he is much more than his disabilities. It shows how Logan Madsen has taken advantage of his physical differences to give his visual art a perspective that few others could even imagine, much less equal. At times his story is brutal in its honesty, but this only prepares the viewer for an uplifting message of perseverance and hope. There are many lessons here for health-care providers, and for all who care about their fellow human beings.”
Julie Kiefer, Ph.D., Science Communications:
“Logan’s Syndrome was very well done, and as someone who communicates stories of our patients and science, it was important to watch. It is all too easy to think we have someone’s story figured out based on the bits and pieces of information we collect, when clearly we haven’t an inkling of what that person’s life is really like. It is a reminder for me to dig a little deeper, incorporate nuance, and find out what the subject of the story would like to portray. You have a strong and beautiful family.”
Kathie Miller, Mark and Kathie Miller Foundation:
In LOGAN’S SYNDROME, we walk in Logan’s shoes - a journey of courage, persistence, love, frustration and sadness. Logan shares his most personal thoughts as he’s struggled to find hope, success and solace. Superb!
