      I am not sure the use of the word Vacuity helps the logline.

      The logline is supposed convey the main conflict of the story. (As well as the protagonist and their goal) I don’t see how a lack of religion would create conflict with a gay marriage.

      Vacuity means “inanity, stupidity, narrowness of mind”

    3. I believe Richiev knows the definition of vacuity. I think he’s saying that it’s not an accessible word in the context of this logline.

      Maybe:

      A religious wedding planner has to re-assess her beliefs when she is forced to travel to rural Italy and organize the wedding of a gay couple.

      That said, the stakes of confronting her own religious beliefs are low and not very cinematic in my opinion.

      I’m picturing this as a zany romcom? The religious aspect can be a theme but I don’t know if the premise of “religious vacuity” can carry an entire script.

      How about:

      An uptight wedding planner is forced to travel to rural Italy and organize the wedding of a gay couple… one of whom is her ex-husband.

      Okay, probably not anywhere close to your story – I was having a bit of fun – but I think you have a potentially fun premise if you can convey your wedding planner’s goal/stakes/conflict/etc…

      Actually I did misunderstand the word Vacuity. I took it to mean a vacuum, or empty. Sort of like if you call someone vacuous you are saying they are empty of thoughts.

      In other words, I thought he was saying she discovered an emptiness of religion, not religious stupidity when she goes to a small town in Italy.

      I guess you lean something new each day.
