A dynamic young woman (witness and rescuer) and a reporter of the National Geographic (safe passenger) meet on the scene of a train crash. Over the course of seven days, while the disaster consequences fade and despite the increasing hostility of her father, they grow closer up to a bond; then a lasting union while her father will be won over under pressure from her maid and confidante.

Thanks Tony Edward,
Your answer worth at least $10! 😉
– This is the reply to an old question of a precedent post
– I didn?t see the confusion of kinship in the last versions
Does not resolve my problem:
If it is too long, we don’t feel like reading it, if it is too short, we don’t feel like reading the rest.
This is exactly like the replies when we read all these posts too fast:
– When it’s more than twenty lines, we go to the next without reading it,
– when it’s one line, we understand nothing without having read the foregoing
My English is not good enough to tell with 30 words what I am able to tell with 70.
The first version (68 words, top of the post) gives what you suggest but it is too long:
– Who the players are, their sex, age, role in society and relationship, the dramatic context and its evolution, the conflict and its resolution.
The second (60 words) is better: give the same but not the conflict resolution , but it is too long and there is a kinship confusion (not too hard to solve)
The last (37 words) give the dramatic context, four intriguing names and their basic relationship, and the main point of the story.
But it is too long, and the reader?s reaction is confusion and reject.
This is a challenge I?m not able to win now. With less of 30 words, I can just tell:
This is an original love story between two people, a third don?t likes this, a fourth likes this and helps the lovers?
(22 words but not terrific isn’t it ?) 🙁
It would be funnier if it were a love story between three or four people and their jealous pets…
I need to work more! 😉

After you’ve got your final draft :
For the USA and the Commonwealth, the best and easiest way is to enter some good US screenplay contests:
1- you can get useful feedback from professional readers to improve your work,
2- if you win, your script will already have been read by at least ten people in the art and your personal data will be widely distributed.
3- if someone is interested by your story, you will be contacted to provide … your logline!, and if it pleases you will be asked the rest.
…( Another way is to try to sleep with a producer) 😉
About your target audience :
The feature movies are distributed over all possible channels: theaters, television, downloading, streaming … and can reach all audiences.
(check the box-office on http://boxofficemojo.com or other specialized sites).
There are ten overlapping types of audiences:
– Adults and seniors, teenagers, children
– Men, women,
– Intellectuals, non-intellectual
– USA, other English-speaking and anglophile countries, and the rest of the world.
Some american movies make more than 70 % of their grosses outside the US (I.E. The adventures of Tintin, Avatar, Titanic…)
Your history will interest:
See less– Men
– Women if you integrate some love story (a friend of Mess -major character in your story- supports your hero and a bond will born between them)
– Adults and seniors if they are not ridiculous, teenagers if it is violent or if adults are ridiculous, children if it is filled with gags, all of these if there is a major moral dimension
– Intellectuals if it is well made, non-intellectual if it is not too involved
– U.S. and English-speaking and Anglophile countries.
