GENRE: Drama, Crime
LOGLINE:
When a schoolmate's sister is kidnapped, a group of kids from a small town take justice into their own hands to bring her home before it's too late.
Nice work, Anna, I think that this is super super clear. However, I don't think that you need the comps mentioned at the tail end of the logline; it actually threw me off a bit because my brain jumped to an entirely different movie (STAND BY ME), and then I found myself thinking about those comps as opposed to the logline/your story as a whole. You already have too much good stuff going on here to run that risk :)
The story is interesting, Anna Agostino. I think the logline needs a little work (just a little). How about: "After a schoolmate's sister gets kidnapped, a group of small-town kids takes justice into their own hands and searches for her."
You might be able to add a time clock in the logline (if there's one in the story): "After a schoolmate's sister gets kidnapped, a group of small-town kids takes justice into their own hands and tries to find her before ________."
I think you could put "Think Lean on Me meets Big Little Lies" into the synopsis section.
Thanks everyone for your constructive criticism. It's funny I actually meant to compare my story to "Stand by me," I don't know how but I ended up typing the wrong movie name. I made some changes so hopefully it's an improvement.
