When a broken film critic must find the most ascetic Persan director and persuade him to shoot an unrestrained blockbuster in Paris, he pick the wrong man and have to deal with him to save his career.

Hi FFF. I’ve only been on this site for a couple of weeks, so I don’t know any more than you do about how it all works. We can hope that someone else enlightens us both.

Your really need to work on this. In the first sentence, once you remove the words modifying the film critic, look at what’s left: ‘A film critic is paid to have him shooting a big action movie in Paris.’ It doesn’t make sense. In the second sentence, who brought an imposter? I think there could be a good story buried in your logline, but you’re not showing it yet. Keep at it. You might benefit from reading a style guide or two. Let me know if you want me to recommend a couple.
