And what does that say?
Isn’t the objective goal of a logline to get someone to read the script?
It seems you have a dilemma: you can write a logline to your own personal specs, or you can write one that gets people to want to read the script. But not both. If you can’t satisfy both conditions, which option are you going to chose?
How can you get anyone to share “in the labour of making it into a film” if you can’t first get them to read the script?
I empathize with your predicament. I am working on 2 scripts and am wrestling with a similar dilemma. I can write loglines that perfectly describe the plot — or I can write ones that focus on some sizzle. But it seems I can’t do both.
I will shamelessly take the 2nd option. I prefer to make a movie than make a stand for absolute accuracy in 30 words. It’s only a [expletive deleted] logline — not a binding legal affidavit made under oath!
