This is a great idea, because it could be done for no budget and uploaded to the internet.
However the logline is not compelling.
I'll give it a try but the logline may still be missing that one extra thing.

"When a Telemarketer's last call turns out to be a suicidal farmer, realizing she may be his last hope, she stays with him on the line to talk him out of killing himself."
>>>not sure being suicidal can work though
I think her being suicidal will work because it gives her a compelling character arc: to wit, in the process of talking the man out of suicide, she also talks herself.
Part of the standard definition of the protagonist is that she is a character who undergoes a character arc. ?If she is not the only character to arc, she is the designated character to undergo the primary character arc ?that underscores the theme of the story.
The suicidal man's character arc is obvious: he doesn't kill himself, seeks counseling. ?Well, if she's the protagonist then what is her character arc?
