See lessI have a simple question about one script I’m currently working on: it has 10 short stories all based in Greece in different cities and areas. Maybe you know the movies “New York, I love you” and “Paris, je t’aime”. Basically, it is such a script, but located in Greece. Do you think this type of script is marketable in any way? And should I write one logline for the whole script or 10 different ones for each story? Thank you for your help in advance! Savas

Making a film is a collaborative endeavor. ?It requires the effort and talent of many people. ?When we ask the question: “What’s the hook in the logline?” we are asking: “What is there about the concept that will act as a magnet to attract the talent, the producers, director, actors, oh, and money, to make a film of the script?”
So what is there about your concept that you think makes it a talent and money magnet?
Whatever, it is build the logline around that feature — the hook, the talent magnet.
