One more thought: reverse roles and make the woman the techno-smart protagonist. Imho, most sci-fi films are s-o-o-o sexist: women are little more than set decorations. There are s-o-o-o many women actors who would kill for a good role where they don't have to play 2nd fiddle to men, sex-accessorized ally/lovers, hapless victims needing to be rescued by men.

Yeah, you got a complicated story. But a logline is a selling tool, not an summary of the entire plot; it's about selling the sizzle, not the steak. And I think you have a lot of sizzle in the concept of 'Holygrams' -- holograms foisted off as gods. It has the makings of a great hook, an interesting story.

Since it evokes a different story line in my mind than in yours -- and it's your story -- I can't think of how to boil your vision down to a 25-30 word logline. But good luck with your idea. It's a potentially killer concept, imho.
