Thank you for your comments. I definatly don’t want the story to be focused on an inward journey. I just need to find a better way to show that through the logline without making it too long or confusing. Thanks again!
Genuinely liking this idea. I’m given the sense money is a major factor and I’d like to understand why though.
For sure sounds like a character driven piece. I wonder if the synopsis can or should touch on the surrogate mother’s emotional attachment. Is the child a burden to her money driven goals? Definitely a nice premise for a movie, but I wonder if the synopsis is vague at the moment.
I reckon the concept has legs; lots of room for character drama and Big Questions. My concern is: is there an outward journey to drive the action and ultimately catalyze the surrogate’s decision while she ponders to keep or not to keep? If not the story’s at risk of being all inward journey, which is hard to make work for a film, so I’d look at that and perhaps try to work it into the logline.
The logline itself could benefit from some tidying-up but it’s really only a matter of trimming and re-ordering: something like, “When the biological parents are killed in an accident, a young, money-driven surrogate mother is left to decide whether to keep the child.” Gets the point across quicker and I don’t think you lose any meaning there.
Certainly a concept worth pursuing.
