A teenage girl finds out who she is when she discovers that she is pregnant.
"We were trying to figure out what we could say with the least amount of words." That is always the goal, but you generally have the freedom of 25 words, or no more (generally, speaking) of 30 words, so you still have plenty of room for some facts.

“We were trying to figure out what we could say with the least amount of words.”
That is always the goal, but you generally have the freedom of 25 words, or no more (generally, speaking) of 30 words, so you still have plenty of room for some facts.
Example: “An immature pregnant girl must learn to grow up quickly so she can care for a new baby, and her father, suddenly bedridden with a stroke.”
You have the protag (girl), her goal (growing up quickly), her stakes (losing her baby and/or father), inner conflict (immaturity), outer conflict (caring for a suddenly ill parent), genre (drama), and “hook” (babies taking care of babies taking care of parents- very timely story). It was done in 26 words.
Hope this break-down helped a bit!

I think it’s a good logline, but could use a little work. It’s certainly a neat concept.
To me, “washed up rock star” is a bit cliche. I’d look for another phrase; “burned out”, perhaps, although that’s almost as cliche. “trying to make his way to the top” uses eight words to say one thing. Loglines are prime real estate, so I’d work on making this shorter and tighter.
You seem to have a “hook” for the story, but it’s not revealed in the logline. This is not a time to be secretive or mysterious. Let it all hang out, as you are trying to get someone interested enough to read the script. As it stands now, it doesn’t achieve that-for me- but I know there’s a cool story in there. It just has to be presented correctly. Also, the tone is unclear. Read one way, it seems like a rom/com; another way, a dramatic “Permanent Midnight” tone. Genre should be unquestionably clear in a logline.

"Juno Redux?" Needs much more story substance. How does she find out who she is? What happened besides being pregnant? WHO is she? Do you mean she LITERALLY finds out who she is, or figuratively? Give us more info, and we can improve it! Good luck!
