Halloween decorations only in October, no flowers in the parkway ? clearly the neighborhood HOA has become tyrannical. A group of moms plot a takeover during their weekly bunco night, and the only thing in their way is the idiot president and his old white guy friends.
I? can certainly identify with the woes of dealing with a HOA as can millions of others.? ?I think you've got a built-in large and receptive audience to the concept.However, I suggest you brainstorm all the possibilities before locking into the plot.?

I? can certainly identify with the woes of dealing with a HOA as can millions of others.? ?I think you’ve got a built-in large and receptive audience to the concept.
However, I suggest you brainstorm all the possibilities before locking into the plot.? For example, as a general rule, unless? there’s a hot-button issue on the agenda,? HOA meetings are sparsely attended..? The most recent HOA for my division was rescheduled for lack of a quorum.? And very few people vote by showing up or by mail proxy for HOA board elections.? Which means that it should be relatively easy for someone with the help of a handful of co-conspirators to pull off a coup.
IOW: where does the plot end?? When they succeed in taking over the HOA?? Or is that when the? plot gets really interesting and complicated?? What do they do after the revolution, after they now have the power (hence, the responsibility)?
Also, another story thread could arise from the fact that? HOA boards contract out day-to-day management to private management companies.? What if that’s the locus of corruption?? (My HOA dropped the management contract with a local management company, contracted with one headquartered over 2,000 miles away. )
Anyway, best wishes.? This is a movie I would like to see.

Isn’t the genre biography rather than history?
Anyway, my version sets up dramatic contrast between rural and? urban as well.
Not sure the time period is necessary for the purpose of the logline because it was a predicament teenage girls have had to endure in other decades in modern times, even today.? And I think it’s? obvious that unhappy entails discrimination and mistreatment.

A worthy and highly controversial subject.
My understanding is that there is almost zero chance of any refugee obtaining a visa for any reason.? Period.? Full stop .? The story seems to place the outcome of the protagonist’s struggle at the mercy of other people; by his own wits and efforts he cannot prevail. I hope? you’ve got a clever and credible resolution to the characters’ predicament — if it’s a happy one.? ?And it would strengthen the marketing potential of the story if it is at least “based upon” or “inspired by” real events, the struggles of real people.
Best wishes with your script.
