My Logline

Well, I'm doing Script Frenzy so this is the logline for my screenplay. It's really hard to keep it short and I feel like it doesn't capture a lot of the nuances that make the concept good, but oh well. Here it is!

A mother must protect her twin children from their father, who believes they must kill him to come of age, but is hindered by her love for him.

 There's also a cult involved and martial arts action-y stuff and that kind of thing, but that's the essence of it. My main problem is that it could be interpreted to precede a very different film from the one I will write.

  2. I think it sounds very good! I like the idea and I feel that the male archetype you have will make for a great character. The only thing I would change is the wording of it. It feels a bit run-on-y. It explains the general idea well and the idea of love playing a role defintely intrigues me. I like your idea a lot and would love to see how it develops.

  3. 1. I can tell by this that you spent alot of time thinking about your idea which shows that you have the whole story lane basicly created in your head.

    2. It gives me all the information needed in order to know what the story is about.

    3. It makes me want to read more and know what happends to each character.

  4. This reminds me a lot of the greek myth of Saturn and his children. I think it would be cool if there was some allusion to this, but either way this sounds awesome. Good job!
