Does our hero have a flaw? Fear of water? A personal obstacle etc.
I like this revised version, nice work.
This revised version works SO much better than the previous. How old is the boy? (I’m asking more because I’m curious :))
YAY!… The boy is about eight years old, as is the girl. B8C- The hero’s flaw (eg fear of water), I assume, wouldn’t go in the logline, but is something I cld add to the story.
A boy must overcome his fear of water and cross the Bass Strait to rescue his sweetheart before Tasmania is destroyed by rising sea levels.
the boy need some devoted and loyal friend to start this challenging rescue mission.
“Drifting further apart, a boy scared of drowning sets sail to rescue his childhood sweetheart from rising sea levels that threaten her home.”
Nice.
Does it matter that in the film the boy only thinks that Tasmania is about to be destroyed by rising sea levels. Tasmania is not actually about to be destroyed.
Just one question… only been to Tasmania once, and I’m not geography expert, but, isn’t Tasmania more… mountainous than the other side of the Strait? I don’t actually remember if it was or not, but, something just made me stop and ask, “Wouldn’t the other side already be under water before Tasmania?” Like I said, I could have that totally backwards! 🙂
Of the loglines above, I do like the specificity of the one including the “Bass Strait.” Lifts it a little above the generic, at least to me.
And, no, I don’t think it matters if Tasmania isn’t about to be destroyed. Adds something if there’s a good reason to think it, but, if you make the case that he truly believes it, I think you’re good. Sometimes, it can add just as much for the audience to know something the protagonist doesn’t, so, some potential plus points there.
Sounds an interesting storyline.
I like the title “Tas Mania”.
What sort of story can you hang on that play on the island’s name? What is there on Tasmania that could create a mania in the mind of a boy? Something so special, unique, fascinating, he’s just got to see it, or die trying?
