Ice Cream Revolution

7 reviews

If your protagonist's goal is to keep the ice cream "flowing" (which ice cream doesn't do unless it's melted, in which case why would you want it?), I don't think that's an interesting enough thing to attempt to hold my attention for 90 to 120 mins. Also, what is at stake?

Thanks. That is really helpful. I will have another go. Thanks

The latest draft of the logline is clearer but still lacks a few crucial elements.

Firstly no need to name the main character best to leave her as an Ice cream shop owner, young widow or mother of 3.

If the back drop of the story is the Egyptian revolution and this is mentioned in the logline then it needs to be used in the logline (and therefore the concept) in a way that it affects the plot.

As it stands right now the MC could be placed anywhere around the world and the story could still happen. How does the revolution force the MC to make decisions and make choices? The revolution could give you a good force of antagonism and provide the MC with ongoing obstacles.

Secondly what is it that starts the story off in the first place? What event happens to the MC in other words what is the inciting incident that drives her to take action and achieve a goal? And what goal is she trying to achieve?

Hope this helps.
