Hi Jean-Marie, I hope I win or at least place too. As far as Celine and Angel, Celine is in her late 30's and Angel's father is mid-20's. I know age is just a number, but I decided not to…

Thanks again, Jean-Marie. I just complimented DPG with his logline before I read yours. I love it! However, I was wondering if I dropped sexually and just used abuse. It may be just me, but do you think people would…

Thanks DPG. The part when she decides to reunite her with her father just came to me. Celine's father saved her from the clutches of her mother, so it felt kind of right. Like they say, sometimes the story just…

Your loglines are very helpful. I haven't started working on it again yet, but I'm saving yours to get an idea. I'm trying to tighten my script one last time before end of weekend, and possibly get an analysis. But…

Thanks again, Jean Marie. Yes I have all the elements that make up the screenplay. The main part of my screenplay take place within a two-three day time period. From the time Angel runs away/is kidnapped, her father is made…

I have to agree with you, DPG that is the hook. Angel's mom turns a deaf ear to her, and Celine has been there herself so returning her is not an option. I am going to try my damnedest to…
on A vengeful man tricks his opponents daughter into taking 30 cursed coins that once belonged to Judas Iscariot hoping the same unfortunate events that plagued him, will now undermine his enemy; however, he didn’t bet on the girl’s ability to love despite the odds.

Although a long logline, it seems interesting and something I would watch for sure. Once again, Valentin, excellent rewrite.

Thanks again, Valentin. I can work with both of your log-lines, and hope to come up with something better than what I started out with.

@Valentin I have to give you credit, that logline is a whole lot better than mine, and it doesn't give the story away. I may have to hi-jack it from you and play around with it. Thank you. @Jean-Marie. I…

Thanks Valentin, I need all the help I can get. However, If I answer all those questions, it feels I would be giving away the whole movie. I can tell you this, she's grief-stricken because she lost her little girl…
