    how cautious should you be of telling people your ideas?

    It is difficult and takes years to break into the industry. I think that unless you are giving your ideas to people already established in Hollywood (Speilberg, Scorcese, etc.) , then you are probably not going to have your idea stolen.

    Logline Feedback

    I like the log lines. All have potential. When you pick one, and start fleshing the story out, your log line might change some.Don't be afraid to rewrite your loglines.

    How far is it worth driving for auditions, when...?
