on An ocean loving Swedish girl teams up with a trans teen, her mother and a rebellious teenager to find answer to her husbands fatal accident while working fruit picking. What they dum over is the dirty under belly of the working visa program putting all their lives in danger

Having experience with Australian immigration process, I'm into anything that highlights how draconian it is. That said, the logline is a bit convoluted. I would simplify it. I don't think the secondary characters need to be included, as it makes…
on A wealthy businessman who leads a double life manages to accept his homosexuality only after discovering that his son is struggling with the same conflict.

In that case, the situation makes perfect sense, but I do think that information needs to be included in the logline, as the context is important.
on A wealthy businessman who leads a double life manages to accept his homosexuality only after discovering that his son is struggling with the same conflict.

My question, from reading the logline, is when/where is this set? Is it a period piece, set in a time when homosexuality was less accepted than it is today, or is it set in a a place where it is…
on When a seemingly crazy man claims to be his wife’s rightful husband, a troubled counselor must must act like the seemingly crazy man if he’s to save his collapsing marriage.”

There's a lot going here, so I think it might be best to clarify a few things. First of all, who is the protagonist? The crazy man, the wife or the counsellor (who I'm assuming is the actual husband? That's…
on A college student and his girlfriend discovers windows to spy on their neighbors during Christmas only to find out one of them invades their home.

Reading this, there are a few things I'd want clarifying. Firstly, why are they spying? Boredom? Fetish? Are they looking for something specific? Secondly, who invades their home? Why is it important that this person in particular is the invader?…
on When an African American CIA operative is recruited by a secret global organisation, he must learn to master the art of time inversion, to stop a renegade Russian oligarch with precognition abilities, from starting World War III.

'Why does this organisation need this CIA operative' - I think Nolan should've been asked that question in the first place.
on After accidentally causing the death of her boss, an over-worked, guilt-ridden barmaid must avoid suspicion, while at the same deflecting the advances of her lascivious co-worker

That's an interesting point about being more specific with the cause of death; I wasn't whether being vague or specific would be the better option. Thanks.
on A modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, told from the cutthroat, conniving, and competitive world of a woman-ran Software Company.

Also - subpoint, and off topic. The title, 'Julila Caesar', is that a typo? Is it meant to be 'Julia Caesar', or is Julila a name I've just not heard before?
on A narcissistic womanizer finds the tables turned when a curse makes him irresistible to men. And the only cure may be consummating a gay marriage.

I'll be honest - this logline did set off my PC-alarm bells. I'm sure it's not meant to. I think that perhaps including the sentence 'And the only cure may be consummating a gay marriage' is what it was. How…

Valetin - I'm glad to hear someone else has had a similar experience to me, re: an elderly person getting christened. I didn't think it a particularly outlandish and unrealistic idea. I appreciate the comments, but again - I feel…
