or Logline #2:
After the death of his secret lover, a closeted small-town lawyer struggles with his drug addiction and leaves his old life for a long-forgotten passion: dancing.
Can you imagine/picture it? Does it make sense to YOU?
Or does it (drug addiction, dancing) need to be explained further/differently?
And which one do you like better?
Thanks xx
I like it! It makes sense to me and I picture it being a drama, maybe with some comedy. I would specify the drug(s) he’s addicted to and what form of dancing your MC does. I prefer Logline #2 because “leaves his old life” paints a clearer picture than saying: “until he finds fulfillment”. I would add what the main obstacle is for your MC, what has the potential to negatively affect his life? Is your MC still an addict after finding his true calling?
What is standing in the lead character’s way?
His addiction problem. I worked out a slighty different logline.
What do you think about: “After the murder of his secret lover, a closeted small-town lawyer struggles with his addiction problem and leaves his old life to seek revenge.”
…is it clearer know?
“After the murder of his secret lover, a drug-addicted lawyer seeks revenge on those who killed the man he loved.”
“After the murder of his secret lover, a drug-addicted lawyer seeks solace in ballroom dancing, but must overcome his addictions if he’s to truly be free.”
I vote for More Cowbell aka Richiev ballroom dancing version.
He’s got the addict fever… and the cure… is more dancing 😉
