What does he want to achieve with his gift? What’s at stake if he fails? What’s the price to be paid if he succeeds?
Silent Reader
The concept of a mute man who can read minds is a good one, combining a serious weakness/hurdle (being mute) with a power/gift – lots of potential with this set up. But the 2nd sentence is a bit nothing – climbing the social ladder and trying to find his place….sure, this should happen through the film, just like a character should improve, but it shouldn’t be your logline. The logline should describe the action/conflict in which such change and soul searching can take place.
Perhaps the mute-mind-reader is tempted by criminals that want to use his powers?
Perhaps he has to overcome discrimination due to his disability?
Perhaps, like many a good story, he ultimate must realise his strength is not his mind reading power but a deeper inner humanity and ability to overcome?
Good luck!
It should be a comma not a full stop. You shouldn’t have two sentences.
