Hmmm. Unimpressed with that logline...Pity they don't have Ed's "obsession with details"!!! Is there even a story there?! HMMMMM? Oh christ I sound like bloody Lucy...
Hi Darren/FEMS - doesn't look to me as if there's a story at all, so that probably means that Jerk Films don't really know what they want (but no doubt they'll "know it when they see it"). Gotta be a worth a crack though, hasn't it? At least with a five page treatment you won't have to slave over a full script...
Yeah totally unimpressed with the logline. They'd do better holding a competition to see who can come up with a better one first..
Hello Anon - not a great logline, I know, but I guess it's an opportunity to really let your treatment run riot...
