When a cash-strapped suburban family decides to host a foreign exchange student for extra money, their hyperactive son Marty goes into panic mode when the exchange student he's sharing a room with turns out to be a space alien who may or may not be planning an invasion.

Compelling logline–clear, imaginative, unique. The only piece that stuck our for me was the “hyperactive” comment about Marty. That may make for interesting character development but I can’t see how that connects with the rest of the logline. Is there something about him being hyperactive that allows him to be more perceptive about the “foreign exchange student?” I have actually hosted a foreign exchange student and it is a very jarring experience at first getting used to someone from another culture. Although it was a great experience there was an initial feeling of disorientation when we realized we had invited a complete stranger to live in our home so it would be easy for me to imagine people passing off an alien’s odd behavior as simply a cultural disconnect. I am assuming that you will explain how the family is making money by hosting this student–I don’t think people normally get paid for hosting a student.
