For single mother Beth, raising teenage twins & juggling a career just got medieval when into her world lands a baby dragon named George.
Sorry- new fingers... "completely", "apparently". Also, no disrepect intended to anyone. Just my opinion on previous opinions. We are here to share these thoughts, and you try to find the ones that provide food for thought to help you improve.

Stephen- “…I may have to tweak the logline…” Why? I wouldn’t touch a word of it. The previous comment on “medieval” is compeletely wrong. Apparanetly, some people just don’t “get it”, but most will. Don’t change a great thing to clue in the clueless. “Pulp Fiction” made the phrase “go medieval on yo’ ass!” a part of our pop culture. Everyone understands its intent, and it doesn’t make MOST of us think of another time period. It’s perfect in the tone and the suggestion that the dragon IS, in fact, a real fire-breather.
Other points about the dragon’s name, similarities to “Braveheart” (Mel Gibson? I don’t remember a dragon in that one), or “George and the Dragon” (don’t know that one either), are completely irrelevant. If you make any changes because of those comments, in my opinion, you’d be doing yourself a huge disservice.
The concerns you mention in your responses- relax. Your logline is NOT a synopsis and only has to reveal certain elements of the story, and then, only enuf to generate interest. Had the logline for “Jaws” been two-words- “killer shark”, it might have been effective enough, but certainly, the other elements completed the vision. You do not need to tell every nuance of the story in the 25 words.
The vision is clear, the tone is obvious, the genre is obvious (sounds to be funnier than Jurrasic Park, however), and the hook is obvious. I wouldn’t touch a word of it.

Yes, of course it does. These things have to be clear, as these are the questions the producers will be looking to satisfy.

Here is how the process works, generally speaking: you write a screenplay, and you send it out, or somehow an agent or a producer reads the hears of it. The logline is USUALLY the only thing they read to determine if they want to read the script. That’s it- the logline. This is why this very site was created. This is why there are businesses that do nothing BUT create loglines for people.
My comment about the Neptune Society was partially in jest. I assumed it was a going to be an animated children’s story, of sorts, then I started thinking how unique it would be to make it live action, like “Mermaid” did. My thoughts got away from me. Clearly you have your own story, already in place, and I wish you nothing but the best for it.
