Two narcissistic TV presenters host televised death in a darkly comic indictment of infotainment
I agree with everything Richieve says. I do think this is an interesting subject matter because when you look at entertainment and shadenfreude, people love to watch the misfortune of others. Since the days of the Roman collisseum, crowds would be bay for blood as people were killed for entertainmenRead more

So you could focus on how far two TV stations are willing to go in order to win the ratings war but throw in a main character who is the centre of it all. I’m now thinking of films like The Running Man.
See lessA new foster mother, walks away from her last hope of being a parent, when her teenager drives her uninsured car into the neighbour?s house.
The problem with this logline is doesn't really suggest enough to fill 120 pages of script. If the mother walks away then that is the end of the film? Rather than her walk away, make her take action and confront the issues with a determination to prove she CAN be a good foster parent despite the setRead more

So as an example of how the logline could read is:
A single mum in the process of fostering a teenage girl, must convince social services she is a capable mum despite her life unravelling around her.

It’s not clear what the main throughline is.
What is a Thai profiteer, again be more specific. How does a Thai profiteer capture and Iranian soldier?
I hope this helps.
