Greetings fellow writers
I was recently asked to send over my screenplay after submitting the pitch to a producer through Stage 32. I'm wondering if I should dig in and learn about option and sales contracts or is it always best to get representation if this goes further?
Thanks and Happy Memorial Da...

A cash poor, hard-working family is cheated out of thousands of acres of prime, seaside land until a long-buried discovery brings sweet justice to the family’s descendants more than 150 years later.

In a gripping tale inspired by real events, two ambitious young men embark on a journey to social media stardom, only to discover the dark underbelly of their quest for popularity. They learn a hard-hitting life lesson, as the truth is unveiled behind the allure of virtual fame and the pursuit of their desires exacts a hefty toll. Brace yourself for a cautionary tale exposing the perils of social media and the intoxicating addiction to attention.
"Viral The Short Film" sounds intriguing, Ahmed 'Magnum Med' Lindsay.
Your logline is really long (76 words). And it's more of a synopsis/pitch. Loglines are one or two sentences. A one-sentence logline sounds better, and it takes less time for a producer, director, etc. to read it. I try to keep my loglines to 35 words or less.
Here’s a logline template that might help:
“After/when ______ (the inciting incident/the event that sets the plot in motion), a _______ (the main flaw that the main character has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes the main character’s personality) _______ (the main character’s position/job/career) tries to/attempts to/fights to/struggles to/strives to/sets out to/fights/battles/engages in/competes/etc. _______ (goal of story and try to add the obstacles here) to/so/in order to ________ (stakes).”
The inciting incident can also be at the end of the logline: “A _______ (the main flaw that the main character has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes the main character’s personality) _______ (the main character’s position/job/career) tries to/attempts to/fights to/struggles to/strives to/sets out to/fights/battles/engages in/competes/etc. _______ (goal of story and try to add the obstacles here) to/so/in order to ________ (stakes) after/when ______ (the inciting incident/the event that sets the plot in motion).”
And Christopher Lockhart has a great webinar on loglines. It’s called “How To Make Your Logline Attractive to A-List Actors, Producers, Directors, Managers, Agents, Financiers and Development Execs” (www.stage32.com/webinars/How-To-Make-Your-Logline-Attractive-to-A-List-A...)
I can't get money to pay professional people.
Looking to find a crew soon for next project here in Atlanta, GA!

Expand commentHey Maurice, unfortunately it doesn't work that way. I have 10 years of experience therefore I just need someone to see me and hire me. I am new to Atlanta so I don't have the relationships here thus I make post like this to get connected with people. So if you know any producers, EPs, ADs, Coordinators, or anyone with pull and can push buttons to make things happen, I need to meet!
I don't know anyone who can make that happen, Ahmed 'Magnum Med' Lindsay, but you could network/build those relationships on Stage 32. There are a lot of members in Atlanta on Stage 32 (www.stage32.co...

And you could start an Atlanta Meetup through Stage 32 (www.stage32.com/meetups).
Can anyone help me get on set in Atlanta?
