Hello all,
If I have an unproduced award-winning screenplay, is there a benefit to attending the Cannes Film Festival Market in order to make connections with producers and buyers. Or are they just looking to snatch up produced, ready-to-go films?

In the late 22nd century, a queer Indian-American man uses psychedelic science to lead humanity to its new interstellar home, but must first confront his past after receiving a dark message from Earth involving his long-estranged mother and her mass ritual suicide cult.
Hi Tasha, I'd love to learn more about why you have rated my logline 3 stars consistently? Is it the quality of the logline or content of the movie? Insight would be appreciated.
Hello Saurin, it sounds like a very interesting story. Here's a suggestion for the logline, "When a gay Indian-American man uses Hindu psychedelic science to travel to humanity’s new interstellar home In the late 22nd century, he stumbles on a secret from Earth involving his mother and her mass ritual suicide cult, making him confront his past."
That is really good! Thank you Tasha and Marcos.
