A na?ve college graduate makes a wish to a shooting star that he could get any job he wanted and finds that the next day; no matter where is, what he wears and how he feels, people (including employees) assume he works there. He uses this strange new curse to infiltrate a UN meeting and try to trick the world leaders into agreeing to World Peace.

Most “Out of the Bottle” stories focus on the protagonist wishing for something selfish, righting wrongs in their own life. It isn’t until they get what they want that they realise that it’s actually not what they want at all. This is what results in the character’s arc. Ultimately, these stories usually end with the character being happy once the spell/curse/wish is removed so what happens once?it’s lifted? Does he actually achieve world peace (and it’s then taken away?) or does he realise that world peace is an illusion thus dispelling his naivety? Either way, I think there’s almost a disconnect between the inciting incident and the goal – as Richiev said, if he wants world peace wish for world peace. I get that it’s a “with great power comes great responsibility” kinda thing and there’s a nobility to his actions I’m just struggling to see Act III.

I wouldn’t say “trick”. He’s tricking them into believing he’s someone who he’s not but I don’t think that enables him to trick them into world peace. Plus, I want his good intentions and pluck to rub off on these miserable UN folks. I want him to genuinely succeed in convincing them. Reminds me a bit of “Being There”.

All that being said, I think this is great. I really like the idea of that naivety and purity making him think he can use this power for the greater good but finds it crashing down around him. I want it to be a darkly humorous look at mankind, verging on depressing, but so absurdly accurate it’s hilarious.

As far as the logline goes though, I think you need to hint at what happens next. Suggest the chaos that ensues if world peace is achieved or what happens to our protagonist if it’s not. I’d trim the explanation about how the wish works too, it’s not needed. CraigDGriffiths’ version works just as well.?
