      I’ve heard mixed reviews about identifying race in spec scripts, but in the latest version of FD they have added features to track diversity – maybe we can finally put this question to bed 😉

      Concerning the logline – WHY does this organization need THIS CIA operative – missing that. I see he is recruited then sent to school. The logline would serve you better if you emphasized something the organization highly valued and that is the reason why he’s recruited.

      Take care
