This is just longline stage ATM ... The start is a tad muddled -- essentially, a reader takes the credit for a film that was submitted to him by a recently dead writer... The film's a hit, but when pressed to back up his success he starts tracking down other screenwriters that have submitted to himRead more

This is just longline stage ATM … The start is a tad muddled — essentially, a reader takes the credit for a film that was submitted to him by a recently dead writer… The film’s a hit, but when pressed to back up his success he starts tracking down other screenwriters that have submitted to him to kill them for their scripts…

In the vein of The Player, but a darker comedy.

When lonely long-haul truck driver D Forde falls in love online with a city writer and single mother, he must cross more than the Nullarbor to overcome his fear of abandonment and win her heart.

Fair points dpg... For some reason my sympathy leans towards the writer -- again, it might come down to the fact that the risk for the writer seems to be a more tangible/ physical one compared to the truck driver, whose risk, whilst high, is emotional only.

Fair points dpg… For some reason my sympathy leans towards the writer — again, it might come down to the fact that the risk for the writer seems to be a more tangible/ physical one compared to the truck driver, whose risk, whilst high, is emotional only. From what I’ve gleaned from the story there is no pressure for him to actually give up his trucking days …?

Also — I guess I’m seeing this from a genre/ audience perspective as well — sounds more targeted to a female audience — probably a generalization but a female protagonist just feels like it would be a SMOOTHER fit… Of course, if duel protagonists (like with something like When Harry met Sally…) maybe the logline could reflect that…

Two lonely hearts fall in love online, but struggle to overcome their clashing lives when one is a successful city journalist and the other a desert crossing truck driver.

A far cry from hitting the mark, but anywho…

Again, best of luck Louise — don’t mean to jump in at the bottom of the ninth and mess with your story, my points are influenced from a gut feeling that there is a true story behind this, and who better to drive that than the person who experienced it? You’ve obviously put in a lot of work on this over quite some time, and I sincerely wish you the best in seeing it through to it’s fruition.

Regards.
