I can't say I would write anything for money - sometimes your mind just doesn't work that way. Your ideas are what you care about - though I could write Clowns in a Car (providing it's the old bug they're getting out of). I'm nostalgic that way...

...of course, I'd write a movie like that for Hollywood money $$$. Something that sounded cool like: Clowns in a Car or Ducks in a Row or Bananas in a Bunch or Cows in a Herd |

Look on the bright side, at least you have a story to have a logline about.

That's what I get for being such a smart*** about the one-word logline - I can't get mine under 30!

Want an example of a short and sweet logline? Snakes on a Plane.
'nuff said.

Actually a producer once told me that about the one word, forget who he was quoting, I will try to find out. The point is, you are trying to intrigue people who have piles of pitches thrown at them every day. The less it takes you to explain, the more they know that you know what your story is really about and if it's intriguing to them, the more likely they are to read/consider it.

Yeah, last year mine was one. I think it will have to be two this year or it would be a horrifying run on, but it looks like I better leave a lot of time to write the logline!

Now I know why I lost my heat last year, my logline was 3 sentences. Damn those rules!

Shorter is better. Think about your idea being shopped from person to person to person to person. Ever play telephone?
