A dangerous love affair between a photojournalist and a black market smuggler set against the June 2001 massacre of the Royal Family in Nepal.

Hello again,
Who is the protagonist? The photojournalist or the smuggler? I assume journalist. Perhaps focus on the protagonist and tell us more about the relationship.
Immediately I’m wondering:
Why the journalist would want to be with someone working within the realm of the black market.
Why is it dangerous (aside from the obvious link to the black market and political turmoil) – who is the antagonist I suppose making it dangerous for this particular character?
What’s the goal of your protagonist – other than some good ol’ lovin?
Answering some of these questions in your longline will help the reader see your film in a snapshot.
Good luck.

Hi,
It might be worth researching Williams character traits and any potential flaws he had and incorporating this into your longline. While most people know what the Chrysler building is and it’s significance, you still want the story to sound compelling, rather than a recount of history.
Something along the lines of:
An obsessive architect destroys all that is good in his life as he becomes consumed by his desire to build the Worlds tallest building – the Chrysler.
Not ideal but focussing it on the character rather than the story adds an element of interest – as we already know the story.
PS I have no idea if he destroyed his life in the process.
I hope this helps

It'd be even better if he was a total skeez telling people he saved her life, turning himself into a hero, snowballing the story further and further so she is literally thrust into it...before naturally realising he's a nice guy, falling for him - yada yada :)
