I Was a Hells Angels Biker — Here's Why I Walked Away | Jason Logan

Jason Logan traded a firefighter's uniform for a Hells Angels vest — but the price of brotherhood went far deeper than he ever imagined. Growing up in California, Jason was obsessed with motorcycles and adrenaline. He spent 12 years as a California firefighter, often battling wildfires side-by-side with prison inmates. But after burning out physically and mentally, he left the fire service in search of belonging, brotherhood, and purpose. That search led him into one of the world's most infamous outlaw motorcycle clubs — the Hells Angels. Inside the club, Jason lived a life most people only hear rumors about. In this episode, he reveals what it's really like inside the Hells Angels, breaks down the politics, rules, and hierarchy of club life, opens up about the mental health struggles members quietly face, explains how rivalries with other motorcycle clubs actually work, and shares the moment he knew he had to walk away. #HellsAngels #BikerLife #OutlawBiker #MotorcycleClub #TrueCrimePodcast #FormerBiker #MCCulture #RedemptionStory Thank you to BLUECHEW for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

But when life gets difficult, it becomes harder and harder to remember these moments. We need to return to our first love, the Creator of the universe!

Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. In Revelation 2, Jesus rebuked the Church of Ephesus by calling them the "Loveless Church." He said - "you have left your first love." Although Jesus commended them for their good works, He called them to repentance for doing works out of Christian habit and duty with no love or zeal. How easy it is for the Christian life to become habitual and dutiful, while lacking a love and fervor for God. Let us return to our first love!

GG Hawkins sits down with Carmen Emmi (director, writer) and Erik Vogt-Nilsen (editor) of Plainclothes, a striking debut feature that blends the aching vulnerability of first love with the sharp tension of queer identity under surveillance. Set in 1997 and laced with nostalgic Hi8 footage, the film isn't just a period piece — it's a raw, intimate time capsule of self-discovery, repression, and resilience. This episode dives deep into the emotional and creative process behind the film, from Sundance dreams to strawberry farm editing sessions and how true collaboration can unlock something extraordinary. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests discuss… The genesis and central themes of Plainclothes, including first love/obsession, policing emotions, identity, nostalgia, and honesty in queer storytelling Why the 1990s setting — especially 1997 — was chosen, both for personal reasons and as a tool for emotional resonance How Carmen and Erik came together creatively, even though Erik joined after principal photography, and how they structured their collaboration (the “Editing Intentions” document, visits, tone setting, etc.) The editorial process: charting out passes, refining scenes, balancing structure vs. emotional truth, and maintaining rawness from the editor's cut through to the final version Test screenings: what kinds of feedback matter, figuring out clarity vs. ambiguity in the narrative, audience confusion around timelines, and how those screenings shaped the final cut On‑set dynamics: director's approaches, setting tone (no yelling unless dire), using music on set, capturing wordless moments, incubating trust and structure among cast and crew Filmmaking tools & creative choices: use of Hi8 footage to express internal states like anxiety; letting instinct and experimentation guide sequences; integrating personal memory and sensory detail into the cinematic style Advice for emerging filmmakers: avoid perfectionism, work with collaborators or friends you trust, give ideas a chance in editing, accept that not everything needs to be precious, learn from every project Memorable Quotes: “It was really, every creative decision I made was like, it was all stemmed from like, what does it feel like to police your feelings?” “One rule. And that was no yelling on set unless like someone's life was in danger…” “We had a lot of love for the story … there was so much levity and play in the edit room … even though we were dealing with very serious kind of themes…” “Give every idea a try … you don't have to spend too much time on it, if it's not working. But … that yes and‑kind of mentality … unlocks stuff you would never think of.” Guests: Carmen Emmi Erik Vogt-Nilsen Resources: Plainclothes Official Trailer I Really Love My Husband Screenings Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram
