Kendra,

Okay, since the script is written, then for the purpose of formulating a logline, I would ask:? what’s the story hook?? (In my book, the story hook, aka: the grab, is the most important element to consider in writing an effective logline.)

The answer to that question may come from asking another one::? what hooked you on the story?? What was so unique and interesting about the story that kept you going, that? motivated you to invest all the time and effort in writing the script?

Kendra:

A positive suggestion.? If you want to send your protagonist (for whatever reason, by whatever means) into the past, I suggest dropping her into the middle of a slave rebellion in the ante-bellum South.? There are dozens ofrebellions to choose from.

You describe her as a photographer.? Okay, she could be photographing sites of slave rebellions.? Like the remains of “Fort Negro” in the Florida panhandle, the site of a bloody battle in 1816 between former and runaway slaves and a US Army incursion into what was then Spanish Florida.

And during the course of the battle, she discovers she is fighting alongside her ancestors.? And therein is the “why”, the reason for her time travel. The ghosts of her ancestors have drawn her back to be be aware of,? to be a witness to their heroic, but doomed, battle for freedom.

Oh, and she could take photos of the rebellion.? But when she returns to the present, the images on the memory card have been erased.? But no the images indelibly stored in her mind.

IOW: give her struggle and suffering greater scope and meaning.

fwiw
