Title:? “from Meadowlake to Man”
Logline:?? From the depths of torture, abuse and slavery; a 90 lb. misfit conquers the United States Marine Corps bootcamp.? A story of perseverance and courage and on becoming an adult-male the USMC-way.? Based on a true story.? “Forrest Gump” meets “G.I. Jane”.? Writer: Floyd Kelly Genre: Drama
Good logline and potentially a satisfying story. But it can be improved.
First off: cut the second sentence. Unnecessary.
Next, what I would love to understand is: why? What is at stake for our hero? What does he get out of it and/or what does he have to lose?
How is this movie going to be different from, say, the first half of FULL METAL JACKET?
Finally: is there a Shadow character or villain we can visualise?
