Hi everyone, I’m Langston. I’m a screenwriter and screenwriting professor (NYU Tisch MFA, Dramatic Writing), and I’ve spent a lot of time reading scripts and helping writers strengthen story clarity.
To introduce myself in a useful way, I’m happy to do a quick logline triage thread. Drop your logline with:
- genre
- feature or pilot
- (optional) one comparable
I’ll reply with one targeted adjustment to improve clarity, urgency, and protagonist want, and if helpful, a cleaner rewrite option.
Looking forward to connecting with you all.
