Hey Ronnie...Depending on whether you're coming from a writer or producer standpoint, I would suggest posting this in the appropriate topic under Craft and Business in the Lounge. You'll surely get a better response. You can see all the Lounge descriptions by clicking on the boxes. Good luck.

The most important thing is always going to be the concept, but a one pager gives you enough space to tell us about the protagonist, get deeper into the story, and tell us what some of the amazing & exciting & original set pieces are.

Adding to William's post - also tell us what the tone is. For example, if you read only the synopsis of 30 MINUTES OR LESS, you'd probably think it's a thriller, but it's not. So a tonal comparison is important.

Mirroring Regina, get the tone right. If it's a comedy, make it comical, if it's a face-paced action flick, make the synopsis fast-paced. Make it compelling... Sell the sizzle, not the steak.
Cheers guys. Have taken the advice and done a fair bit of other reading. will see what happens now.
