Thanks. The story is more about him desperately trying to save his daughter. He has no consideration for his police career or oath. She is a drug addict and this is the body of her dealer boyfriend. He threw her…

Here is the story, so far. A woman is raised by a single mum that had a really great job. Paid for a private school, a really nice middle class life. The woman has never felt anything but loved. She…

on A priest kidnaps an atheist writer and tortures him until he believes in God or one of them dies in the process.

Your story can (and should) have heaps of twists and turns. But a logline should give a clear pitch of the story. People assume Logline X 100 complex things equals movie. So logline confused by too much X 100 equal…
on Maximus comes back to life as his body is ignited on the funeral pyre, sparking an escape and betrayal rife with visions of heaven and hell which condemn him back to the coliseum.

What is his aim. What are the goals of the story. What may stop him? Just a general observation. A lot of your loglines are pretty but lack any story. Don’t believe the idea that a logline has to be…
