Hey Alex, Yes I am. I have witnessed a lot from Birmingham too as it happens! I will definitely look into REEL or TALENTVILLE, thanks for the tip and good luck!
Nadia
Good luck with an ambitious script! Try getting some feedback from peers on sites such as WRITE TO REEL or TALENTVILLE.
Are you from London? I’m a Brummy…
Cheers,

It does sound better I agree! The story follows a young girl who although living in modern day London is very much controlled (inspired by the unfortunate tragedy of Shafelia Ahmed) and how she fights back the oppression. This is still very common in England amongst certain communities, not just far off in Pakistan/Afghanistan etc. I will be creating a one sheet for this and a thirty second trailer to encourage funding and also to help with pitching!
Hello Nadia, interesting idea.
In a logline you have a main character (Protagonist) who must must do (This) in order to accomplish their goal. (You also need something or something standing in their way)
In your logline, you have given us two things they “Must” do. One is expose her father next is to overthrow a radical mosque. As a result the logline is a little too long.
In order to keep the logline short, I would stick to one of those goals and tell us how accomplishing it relates to her getting an education.
Hope that helped, good luck with this!
