This would be a great inspirational film…a woman who re-discovers her faith while uniting a church community under one unique choir. The competition angle is cool, but the re-unification should be the real story.
Pretty much covered by the other comments; take special heed of jamesmichael’s advice on this one. One issue with me, though: I don’t think “abusive husband” is a good jumping off point for a “comedy”- inspirational or not. You may have an inspirational story, but don’t water it down with “comedy” for comedy sake. Most movies- incuding inspirational ones- have funny lines, or funny parts, or funny characters, but are not classified as comedies. I’d give this a long, hard look before deciding this as a genre, or changing the reason for her leaving althogether. Just my two cents…
Good idea for an inspirational movie!
My suggestion is that we need to understand the stakes a bit more. Why is uniting everyone in a school singing competish important? Why should we care?
Is she trying to prove to her husband that she’s worth something? If so, maybe it would be better for her to stay with her husband, and have him be an antagonist throughout the movie, cruelly putting her down etc., to raise the stakes? Or maybe its your intention to have her leave, and have him track her down?
Good premise, I would just like to understand the school & singing connection a bit more? – Does she have a daughter or kids she takes with her? Also- Why is the community divided, and singing the key to uniting them?
Could this be a “footloose” idea singing has been banned etc? Just a thought.
Sounds like one of those feel-good movies. I’m a little confused as to who she’s got to unite. I’m assuming it’s the community, but it could just as easily be herself and her abusive husband.
I Like the idea that its an inspirational comedy. The concept of the school singing contest works really well in this way.
I think with the logline you could save some words. Rather than saying that she has to leave her abusive husband, just say that she leaves her abusive husband, the fact that he’s abusive is enough to motivate her.
With the extra words now you could mention (only briefly) why she has to unite this community (this should also imply why a school singing comp is the key). For example “a once vibrant town/ a down-and-out town/” etc but something better than that ha
