LITTLE ANGELS
By Timothy M Braun
After losing her child, a grieving mother going through a crisis of faith finds and takes in an orphaned infant who, as she grows up, begins to exhibit miraculous powers.
SYNOPSIS:
Set in a small town, Rebecca, a grieving mother who has just lost a child to SIDS finds an infant; but the infant possesses something so mysterious the mother can’t bring herself to believe what she sees. The love of the child brings her many trials and obstacles to overcome, ending with a "Sophie’s Choice."Throughout the child’s youth, Arielle maintains she has conversations with angels, which her mother disbelieves. As extraordinary events are tied to her, she leaves many wondering: "Was that a coincidence or…a miracle?” Who is this child?

Hi Timothy! Sounds like a very sweet idea for a film. For the logline, I think you can restructure it just a bit and also add some more information. Does the audience know she's an angel the whole time? Or is this something we learn at the end? If the former- fine, if the latter - remove it from the logline. You also shouldn't really use names in loglines. Not important right now. And then is there a main journey she goes on? Or one particular person she struggles to help until the end? Your Synopsis tells an entirely different story than the logline. From the synopsis alone the logline should probably be something like, "After losing her child, a grieving mother going through a crisis of faith finds and takes in an orphaned infant who, as she grows up, begins to exhibit miraculous powers." because it sounds like the mother is the protagonist here. Good luck with this! We have a great faith-based producer here if you have the finished script. Email me at writerhelp@stage32.com if you'd like to hear more about him :)
