Pitching and log lines

Can someone please tell me how to pitch a screenplay and what does a Log line include. I know it's to be short and sweet, to the point. I am so new at this and trying to absorb it all in.

Jeff Cross

The way I've done it at pitchfests is: 1) My credentials in the matter 2) The general concept of the project and any contest honors it's accrued at that point 3) Brief plot summary hitting on major plot points As for logline, that's kind of a one-to-two sentence concept summary.

John McLean

One sentence preferably containing PROTAGONIST, GOAL, and OBSTACLE in any order. Avoid adjectives - pick the essence.

Hey Patrick, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you...
