A gay boy and girl, bullied in their youth form a deep friendship and as they turn into young adults they hear of a boy who was bullied to death, so they enroll in the high school that the boy attended, and use their amazing computer skills to get revenge on the bully by infiltrating her inner circle and using social media to turn the tables.

This is my first attempt at a log line and I am 99.9% sure it. Is way too long. Humbly looking to learn.
Nice logline. I hope this get made. Good luck.
If you haven’t already done so, I suggest you read Karel Segers’ suggestions for composing an industry acceptable logline under the topic “Formula” at the top of the web page.
Film is a visual medium and each element in a logline should invoke in a reader’s mind an image, a visual. So what will “turn the tables” look like on the screen? What the visual? What is the nature of the specific revenge they want to inflict upon the bully? Death or…?
Yes, the logline is too long by a factor of two. A reader has to slog through almost 60 words to discover that the bully is female — and then that is disclosed only with a pronoun ,”her”, instead of a noun.
Also, the motivation of the two leads would make more sense and be more compelling if they have personal stakes in the situation and the outcome. Like, they also had developed a deep personal friendship with the boy who died. (And how did he die? Was he driven to suicide? If he did so, say so.)
Thank you so so much this is amazing and valuable feedback!!!!
