After his wealthy wife dies, a reclusive and callous high school teacher wants to honour her dream of becoming a concert pianist.

The story has a decent EVENT (‘the death of his wife’), and we understand that this can motivate change in a character’s life, as well as inspire them to act.

The character is interesting, in that he is reclusive and callous (mind the capitalisation error).

However, ‘decides’ is not an exciting action for a screen story. We need to be able to visualise the action from the logline.

‘To become a concert pianist’ doesn’t excite me either. This does not promise a movie that is worth watching.

You may have the beginning and the end to a story, but the middle is what you need to entertain an audience with. There needs to be struggle, determination, and incredible odds. We need to be able to anticipate tension, and be compelled to take the POV of the character.

At this point, the logline is not inspiring this (yet).
