An alcoholic blues player sells his soul to the devil for fame and money.

I tried leaving a comment earlier but the page crashed on me. Anyway, I’m glad to see a bit more detail in your response to Huddy! I give you credit with your initial logline and its brevity (14 words, well done!). However, I was missing the unique hook as well. You’ve got something relatable as we’ve all thought at one time or another what wouldn’t we do for fame and glory but you didn’t have anything beyond a pact with the devil. Hearing that the devil may take the form of a priest is interesting (it’s always who you least suspect!) and a bit ironic. The dying wife adds some clear motivation as well, though, not completely original. I don’t doubt you could have a great character piece and morality play here but I’d use your remaining 11 words (if you go by the golden rule of a 25-word maximum logline) and flesh out your story to give the reader something more to get a hold of…

Thanks, Karel! I completely agree about ensemble dramas being hard to pull off and I won’t even try to come up with any more examples than what you did. I’m definitely aiming for a comedy where it’s easier or more expected to bounce around the plot lines and as long as it’s funny people will be entertained (a hard enough feat in of itself!). However, I should NOT discount a main protagonist who the audience will relate to and expect to follow. I guess I was trying to keep the word count down and not go into too much detail but the main character would be the best man who isn’t completely innocent himself. It’d be up to him to right the many wrongs while pulling everyone together to help reconcile the couple so their day is saved.
