A secretly gay detective in the 1940’s must investigate the murder of the man with whom he had a love affair with.
Let me word it differently. The detective isn't in love with him anymore, so why would this not be just another case for him? Indicate that he needs to solve it before evidence comes out that the detective had previous involvement with the victim, or even better, that the detective will then becomeRead more
Let me word it differently. The detective isn’t in love with him anymore, so why would this not be just another case for him? Indicate that he needs to solve it before evidence comes out that the detective had previous involvement with the victim, or even better, that the detective will then become exposed or even the prime suspect or even, then yes — I can see his motive to solve needs to be done swiftly.
Otherwise, this is all an internal struggle, no? ?Surely, we can do better than just solving a murder case, no? Did they kill gay investigators in the 40’s? Are we talking about a faith-based story?
Add that the love affair has another dimension to it, like the victim was rich and there is a ton of money at stake. Or there was a payoff to keep quiet… just rambling.

Just because Hollywood is obsessed with what people do within their bedrooms doesn’t mean we have a solid plot. However, with the current winds on the blacklist, phrase this properly and I bet you’d garner interest.

Mine is a complex of murders, mainly focused around concealing a galactic insurance fraud but including some revenge attempts by the contract killer. From MC’s perspective, there are multiple murders, a possible insurance fraud, the prime murderer is specifically after him and/or his family for revenge… Can people please suggest how to choose which elements/plot lines to logline and which to leave for the synopsis. e.g. in the movie “UP”, which is the more important: Carl reaching the Falls to fulfil his promise, Carl’s redemption, Carl speudo-adopting Russell.. etc.
I just can't believe that insurance fraud is anything an audience will want to see. There's nothing sexy about these investigators. Ya, you can have fraud being the crime or catalyst in your story, even if its the trail that's uncovered, but I wouldn't advertise the movie about insurance fraud - thaRead more

You can thrust an insurance fraud investigator into an unfamiliar dangerous role, such as homicide investigator, and then you have some irony and a story to roll with.
While investigating insurance fraud, a galactic agent must…
