    After witnessing his grandfather’s murder, a New Mexico high school senior has a nervous breakdown and travels to Taos to remake his life – assuming false personas that are inspired by magazines he collects – while being pursued by his grandfather’s killer, who he discovers is one of his best friends.

    I was working on a variation of the movie Nurse Betty: “After witnessing the murder of her deadbeat husband, a Kansas housewife has a nervous breakdown and travels to Los Angeles in order to find the “love of her life” ?- ?a fake doctor from her beloved soap opera – while being pursued by her husband’s killers.” My story has some overlaps, but it’s an entirely different set-up. I agree, I won’d reveal that it’s the best friend in the end. In my scenario, the killer is looking for him because he believes he (the running away grandson) was an accomplice.

    He joins an off-grid media-free commune to hide out. The back story is complicated and I don’t think it belongs in the log line. It involves an accusation by the press that his grandfather was gay, which led to the grandfather being killed by gay-bashers. The setting is the portrayal of small town TV stations crucifying people and deeply influencing the narrative. In the early media stories, they even accuse him, the grandson, as being guilty. He flees his small-town and hides out, and he obviously sees the “media” as being his enemy. This type of media crucifixion occurred in ?the movie A Cry in the Dark (The dingo took my baby) when the Murchison’s were accused of killing their kid. So, that’s the backstory. He likes the commune because no one asks personal questions and he can hide out. The twist is when the commune leadership agrees to have a TV crew do an expose on them. By sabotaging, he mainly spends time trying to convince the leadership not to let them into the commune, to the private areas. He ends up losing and is forced to engage the media – and he ultimately faces his family situation, publicly. I’ve had a hard time condensing this into a log line ?as you can see.

    Thank you. The protagonist didn't commit the murder, the media's involvement led to someone else killing his grandfather, spurned on by the media. Maybe this confuses everything. I guess that's your point. Perhaps I t should read: When a TV network is okayed to launch an expos? of a commune, a new mRead more
