GENRE: Drama, Fantasy
LOGLINE:

When a hopeful teenage girl begins to get bullied at school, she’s visited by her guardian angel, who steps in to help her see the beauty of life, while also protecting her from the dark forces emerging to stop her reaching her potential.

SYNOPSIS:

Teenager Gabrielle is given some hope in her dreams by her guardian angel. She writes in her diary, excited for the day ahead, a new year starting at school. She rushes around before Micheal gives her a ride to school. School bully Madison has her targets ready for the year, and soon has her sights set on Gabrielle… She slams Gabrielle’s book bag on the floor and is escorted to the Principal’s office, while Gabrielle is helped by Leviticus. She doesn’t recognize him at first, but he’s familiar, he kisses her on the lips… They chat, and then she finds him again later in the library. They talk some more before he joins Gabrielle and Micheal at lunch; Madison still deciding what she’s going to do to Gabrielle. Leviticus wants to know Gabrielle’s take on the meaning of life, telling her it’s about joy; while Madison keeps picking on Gabrielle. Gabrielle tells her mother Emily that she likes a boy and continues seeing him at school, while also hanging out with Micheal. Leviticus comes to Gabrielle’s house, where he meets Emily. Gabrielle assures Emily they’re just friends. He inspires Gabrielle to write poetry, but Madison sees it and makes fun. Leviticus arrives before things escalate between them… but that was just Gabrielle daydreaming. She knows Leviticus can have an inspiring impact on her. She stands up to Madison on her own. Leviticus comforts Gabrielle, who was overwhelmed by the experience. She notices similarities between him and her guardian angel… The next time she sees Madison, she makes it clear she's not standing for it anymore. Afterward, Leviticus encourages Gabrielle to try and make friends with Madison. Collecting herself in the school bathroom, a ghastly figure sweeps past Gabrielle, startling her… Something strange is happening outside. Ominous lightning and the appearance of a strange figure: Abbadon. Then, in the woods, Lilith awakens. She charms a wolf, who ends up outside Gabrielle’s window, transfixed. Gabrielle seems to be in a trance the next morning, not taking in what Emily is saying. The fallen angels: Abaddon, Lilith and Samael, all arrive at the school. Leviticus knows this spells trouble, taking Gabrielle somewhere safe to explain. He explains that he’s her guardian angel. The fallen angels are dangerous. Overcome by another day of bullying, Gabrielle goes into the bathroom to hurt herself, knocking herself out by smashing her head against the mirror. At home, she cuts her neck, and Leviticus senses trouble and arrives to save her. A week later and Gabrielle is out of the hospital, enjoying the sunshine with Leviticus. She opens up to him about her depression. Her father molested her as a little girl and she has used self-harm to cope. Gabrielle and Leviticus begin dating. It’s homecoming week at school. Lilith intimidates Madison, seeking to get close to her; while Madison’s friend Quinn apologizes to Gabrielle for her behavior. On her way home, Madison is in a car accident, losing control of her vehicle and waking up in the hospital. Lilith stands over her, she has a plan for Madison… With Gabrielle, Leviticus, Micheal, and other students partying in the woods, something ominous is building as the fallen angels begin a ritual. Madison is possessed and tasked with killing Gabrielle. Gabrielle, meanwhile, is trying to stand up to the bullying, but she confides in Leviticus that it’s taking its toll on her. Leviticus tries to calm her, as she shops for a homecoming dress. Everyone’s ready for the big day, with Madison plotting… In the bathroom at the venue, Lilith appears in the mirror behind Gabrielle. A blackout. The fallen angels have her. They are ready to kill Gabrielle, but Leviticus swoops in to defend her, and they fight. As he’s distracted fighting Abaddon, Madison instructs them to bring Gabrielle to her. Leviticus dispatches Abaddon and Lilith, then produces a flaming sword to kill Samael. Madison has been sucking the soul from Gabrielle’s body, but the fallen angels being dealt with breaks the spell. Madison is free and so is Gabrielle - to love Leviticus in safety.

Why is my query letter keep getting rejected? I've sent my pitch for my script, Danger With Wings, to Virtual Pitch Fest, and I was hoping to get excited every time I look forward to that positive letter but yet disappointed. It might be the logline that I might be doing something wrong. Can anyone help, please?
