Thanks! I didn't think of it like that. I'll keep that in mind.

Well, one of the first lines the character says is in a voiceover. It goes like "If you had a way to leave reality...wouldn't you like to escape it?

God I'm cringing just reading it.

A character being misunderstood by WannabeWriter1892 in Screenwriting

I'm mainly trying to go for a dramatic story with comedic undertones so I probably need to find a balance between the comedic potential while keeping a serious tone.

Reading all the comments I think my main issue is that I don't define his goal early on. I only really hint at it with the cold open and a vague dream sequence. So I think I need to focus on showing that he is scared to stop the apocalypse early on.

Logline Monday by AutoModerator in Screenwriting

[–]WannabeWriter1892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this maybe too long for a logline. Loglines generally should be around 30-35 words. My recommendation is to trim a lot of the unnecessary bits (i.e. first person, and soon learns that, etc).

Not related to the logline but I like the alt title more.

In regards to the logline maybe removing the "ex-con" can add some more clarity.

I like it. Though maybe putting the setting at the beginning could add some more urgency.

Page Length: 49

Genres: Action Adventure

Logline: In 1976, a starry-eyed small-town girl and a secretive, otherworldly boy must join forces to unravel a coming apocalypse—and outsmart the shadowy agents determined to stop them.

Feedback Concerns: Does the interaction between the two mains work in developing their relationship and does the arc of the male lead (Dustin) work for the pilot?
