I guess an imposter 'always' has bad intentions. 'who' is everyone'? So now you must tell us 'who' the imposter is and 'what' he wants.

I guess an imposter ‘always’ has bad intentions.

‘who’ is everyone’?

So now you must tell us ‘who’ the imposter is and ‘what’ he wants. He for all I know it’s his twin brother directing IS movies.The imposters intentions could alsow show us that your writing a comedy. Of course you don’t need to use Hollewood/Bollywood. YOU fill in the locations!

For starters do not put the subplot in your logline.

My clumsy attempt :

‘After a famous anti-instamatic movie critic realizes he didn?t contract a flamboyant- upcoming Bollywood director but his evil twin brother, he must deal with the imposter to foul Hollywood and save his career. ”

More info but much to long:

The Cow with Sour Milk

“After a famous Jewish movie critic realizes he didn?t contract a flamboyant- upcoming Bollywood director for an explosive comedy, but his twin brother – an ISIS video director – he must deal with the copycat director in order to fool Hollywood and save his own career”.

Or must I say: “save Hollywood” and “fool his own career?”

All this of course without knowing what makes your story tick..

And now your version in 35 words or less.

Thanks FFF, yes it’s much to basic, especially as a thriller. I try to have original concepts, but I have to think them through more before I post them!! Just deleted my last idea. Did not make sence. An idea is often as good as oher people think it is; that’s if you want to sell it. By the way, selling loglines is a fable. You sell completed scripts, not basic ideas. That’s why – for me- the most important thing on this forum is to learn and have fun!!

Later on I’m going to focus again on the Kafkanion (new word?) paradox.

Thanks again
