Loglines

I'm not 100% confident in my loglines. I know my stories and I love (most of) them. I need to work on my pitches and trying to cram as much info as possible into only a few sentences.

In class we had to come up with 10 loglines. These (for better or worse) are mine:

Crestfall – A young female veteran wakes to find she’s sprouted wings and has super powers, as she investigates this phenomenon she uncovers a conspiracy that hits a little too close to home.

Fake It Til You Bake It – A middle class father recently lost his job so he enters a local cooking contest for some quick cash. Using only boxed cake and brownie mixes he wins effortlessly and soon has his own cooking show, but his conniving ex-wife threatens to reveal his secret to the world.

Two Worlds – An African American teen has her world flipped upside down after a near fatal car crash where she glimpsed the after life, now demonic apparitions haunt her daily.

One Night in Des Moines - In a noir tale set in the 1920’s, a policeman’s partner is brutally murdered in a quiet Midwestern city, the policeman is sole witness and must now gather evidence to prove his claims are substantiated.

Unfortunate - A college graduate tries his hand at stand up comedy but has no real affinity for it. His friends don’t have the heart to tell him as he signs up for a nationally televised talent show.

Reality Check - A group of well to do college students get part time jobs at a parking lot as part of a social experiment in order to find some over analyzed crumb of self importance, along the way they are faced with the possibility of having to actually do something in order to have validation in their life.

Porn-Buddies – A man in his early thirties receives an email from his high school best friend who has recently passed away. His friend asks in the email for the man to go to his apt and clear out all of his porn before his mother and sister come to clear out his things.

Succubus - When a reclusive 30-year-old man answers a personal ad online he’s introduced to the woman of his dreams. After the sun sets she locks the doors and his night of terror begins.

We Can Do That – In the not too distant future a man procures the services of “Oops Incorporated”, a company that allows him the use of time travel up to 3 times to go into his own past and correct any mistake he chooses. He’s forced to question the consequences of every decision he’s ever made.

Caroline – She grew up in various homes with various people bounced from place to place. Now she struggles between a family that might actually love her, and the acceptance of peers who have their own definition of “cool”.
