When an accident lands sixty year old Kay in a nursing home to recover and suddenly others view her as “OLD” does she sit back and take it? Hell No! bucking societal beliefs, her families opinions and the nursing home rules Kay refuses to let granny panties and housecoats define her as she sets out to prove… aging is not the same as being dead.

You will need ?describe her physical goal, this will define her metal state. Here is an example, you will find your own.
“Desparate to prove ‘old’ doesn’t mean ‘dead’ a nurse home resident ……..”
Now or what does she do?
There is a rich vein of comedy to mine for?the character and the situation and there is a large and relatively untapped demographic audience who might respond to it.
However, as written it constitutes more of a blurb than a logline. ?What is the difference? ?A blurb is pitch to a movie watchers, to induce them to see the film. ?A logline is a pitch to movie producers, to induce them to finance and film the story. ?Different audiences, different goals, different requirements.
The requirements for an industry standard logline are outlined under ?the “Training” option at the top of this web page. ? I suggest the blurb be reformulated into a bona fide logline accordingly. ? As currently stated, this logline lays out an inciting incident that creates a situation. ?But it doesn’t lay out a plot. ?That is, it lacks a statement of a cause-and-effect objective goal that arises from the situation.
So, as a result of being placed in a nursing home to recover, what becomes the character’s goal? ?What must she do about the situation she finds herself in?
