Hello creatives,
I’d love to hear your thoughts on my logline.
Script: The Silent PFC War
Logline: When an alien-engineered gas reduces humanity to a childlike state, dissident aliens and imprisoned ISS astronauts must restore human intelligence before a hidden genocide plan is set in motion.

I suspect that the alien's who engineered the gas did it in order to effect their genocidal plan. Therefore, I would argue that their plan is in progress, rather than waiting to be set into motion.

Thank you, that’s a very good point. I may need to adjust the wording to make the progression feel clearer. Preston Poulter

Also, most producers and distributors think in terms of genre. Your description should contain phrases that suggest whether this is a comedy or thriller.
I would argue it’s not a good logline for a horror as we don’t seem to see the aliens.

Thank you for your guidance. My script is a dystopian sci-fi thriller rather than a horror story. Preston Poulter
