It's been a genre forever - Lord Of The Flies, Battle Royale, Red Dawn, City Limits, etc., it's just that last year about a dozen of them came out at once...

Lucius Paisley: I think that has become a genre now. Teens want to see themselves in film and I think they have moved on from boy meets girl.

gilgamesh: Yep, this is the story I have had interest in.

The tone of the script is a little like Terminator, except she is the caused of her own disaster. She over reacts in a situation causing the antagonist to get shot (wounded). This starts the war between them. She wants it to stop but isn't equipped physically or emotionally for this new horrible world.

She is finally pushed to a point were she kills him. She the plunders everything he has (just he did to her) and head for communities her had previously mentioned.

Thanks everyone for the brain power to help me polish the line. Loglines are good to get stories started, but they are essential in getting others to read your work.

"Btw, is this the story you were referring to when you recently posted you've now received three inquiries from production companies using your revised logline?"

If it is, they're a little bit late, 2014 seemed to be the year for "teenagers fending for themselves, during an apocalypse, after an apocalypse, or in a society where adults watch teenagers fight as some kind of futuristic sport" movies...
