confused about this added logline business.. does this mean you did not write the script? Also I would like to know what the "island movie" category some add to their page means.

Karl Lareine

Whatre you confused about? Do you mean how to write a logline? The script isnt done yet, but did the outlining, so Ill be doing the writing as soon I finish the other one! Ive no idea what it is you mean by others adding "Island movie" to their pages!

Rutger Oosterhoff

This logline has potential! For me this story should be about a female patient jealous of the man that dates her shrink. So you got my atention talking about plural; "patients". Do they team up?! That would be original.

Karl Lareine

Your idea is not bad, I like it. But, if I was to use this idea, I would have to change the suspect`s motive to begin with! So, question, would you be interested to collaborate on this project?

Rutger Oosterhoff

Yes, but I do not want to change your basic idea, and you do not want that to. How I myself like to work is that I come up with a basic idea/logline. When I have that I reach out to people who really know how to write. They will give my ideas a face. I'm a big fan of the 'think-tank principle-'1+1=3. When there is a script, then I try to use the knowledge I gained with reading books about screenwriting, talking to produced screenwriters and reading a shitload of scripts. What I can do for you is read your script. For a good outline I suggest you can read'" Save the Cat" (if you did not already read it). I’m not a specialist like the people that give you script coverage, but learned quite a bit at www.simplyscripts.com. Only problem is that they almost never comment on features, only on shorts. I'm starting at a new job Monday so give me some time read over your first tenpages/outline/script; what you want to send me. Futhermore as I already told an other stage32 members, Yes I'm producing this short called "Elevator Pitch", but I'm not a real producer. I'm just the executive producer on this project.. A whole different ballgame. Know nothing about getting investors etc. But glad to help with what I can help you with. No credits needed. Best, Rutger
