Peter’s test logline
100% agree with Richiev's points! I'll add a couple of my own - Writing a logline when you already have a finished script is hard and the feedback you get here (on your logline) will often suggest changes to your story that aren't necessarily practical if the script is complete.

Some of the points above are things that I’ve learnt the hard way and as Richiev said, you don’t have to take everybody’s advice but remember that everyone here is here to help because we understand the importance and skill involved in a good logline.

Good luck and I look forward to your first logline!

Films like this usually have a mentor character (A Star is Born, Eddie the Eagle, Cool Runnings, etc etc) so if that’s your plan then maybe consider working that into the logline too.
You’ve put this into the “adventure” genre. I would argue that’s probably more of a drama but without more information I couldn’t say for sure. Critic?Don D’Ammassa?defines the genre as follows: An event or series of events that happens outside the course of the protagonist’s ordinary life, usually accompanied by danger, often by physical action. Something to keep in mind going forward.?
