A street stupid teen struggles to sell methamphetamine looted from a crimescene to fund his dream of making it big in Hollywood, as he’s pursued by a psychopath cop.

See lessTo answer your question this is a feature film script. My first actually. Being as anxious as I am I began the writing process well before my idea had 3 complete acts. (motivated by a short course with David Trottier – Keepwriting). The journey has been one of many changes to both story and character. As much as I’d like to complete this script and be happy with the result, part of me wants to start on one of my new ideas and begin the process with a ‘solid’ logline first. (I’m battling whether that’s giving up or being smart).
After tipping off police to his brother’s latest heist, a torn man must struggle to escape the consequences while keeping the loot; but when his brother is released on bail, he must learn where his true loyalty lies before losing the people most dear to him.
Something I'm also struggling with on my own logline is making people sympathetic toward my MC due to his criminal behaviour. I think if you can make this happen and keep your word count down you're on the right track.

Thanks once again dpg. You are right WW's motives to have the money there for his family were purely unselfish. Was this really his motive for continuing the criminal activity though? Perhaps building the Heisenburg brand became addictive? Perhaps the opportunity he'd lost with Gray Matters TechnoloRead more

See lessYou are right WW’s motives to have the money there for his family were purely unselfish. Was this really his motive for continuing the criminal activity though? Perhaps building the Heisenburg brand became addictive? Perhaps the opportunity he’d lost with Gray Matters Technologies in a previous life was motivating him. My thoughts were he turned his back on his family and his goals became purely selfish.
I’m merely trying to get to the bottom of what makes someone root for a character regardless of their motives/ flaws /selfish acts and incorporate that into my confused young teen.
No my story is not high concept.
That’s also interesting about Vince Gillian and Hancock.
