Hey everyone! I appreciate you sharing your loglines with me.

After reading them, I highly suggest checking out Chris Lockhart’s Stage32 webinar. Besides being the WME story editor, he’s a wonderful teacher and all around nice guy.

Writing a strong, simple, and clear logline is an essential skill. I’ve learned a lot from Chris, and I’m sure you will too.

Richard, yes, in a way - then the moms find out and everybody wins. Except Dad. :)

Good Afternoon,

It takes a partner to create a movie franchise.

An animated presentation of the film is here:

https://youtu.be/Ga_S-SUpDEY

"Project Zone" is a new fantastic blockbuster that reveals the veil of secrets of an unknown weapon that alters reality.

Part of the synopsis:

"The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is the most dangerous and mysterious place on Earth. A place where incomprehensible and dangerous phenomena occur in the form of physical anomalies and psy-radiation.

This area is inhabited by monsters and mutants, the law of survival reigns there, and it is easy for a person to die or turn into a zombie, devoid of reason and consciousness. "

An animated film has been created for the presentation of the project, which you can see only by the closed link.

If you are interested in starting a business on this project, I will be glad to cooperate.
