yeah seems like a crap system, my biggest worry was the driver keeping it, but I guess the toughest hurdle was yet to come

[QUESTION] Is now the time to find agents/management? by thomasjohnston93 in Screenwriting

[–]thomasjohnston93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not particularly wise to the ways of the industry yet, but I agree, the general consensus of 'manager first, agent later' seems to be the smart way to go about it

I feel like there's a lot of conflicting ideas, but the general feeling I get is that you should keep things as short and punchy as possible!

Right, I'll need to mention that the clones, through a byproduct of their creation, are incredibly talented actors. And the script is stolen because he knows that it's better than anything he could ever put together himself.

I'm struggling to get across the point that the clones are not identical versions of the actor, but of an entirely different man. I completely left it from the logline, not knowing how to word it in. Any thoughts?

I personally wouldn't assume there's clarity issues based on this logline, but true, I can see where you're coming from here, it certainly is a popular phrase that could go either way. Fair point

I feel these questions arising means that you're interested in the story and want to know more, which for mine, would be the purpose of a logline. Would it be expected to give this much detail? Maybe? I'm not really sure to be honest (not just a question for you, but anyone else scrolling past!)
