I don't know how helpful wormholes are to physics, but they save writers pages and pages of space flight between galaxies.

Sfoster is spot on. I majored in Lit in college. Understanding the structure of a story is like a musician when they first become able to hear individual notes. It's the tools of the trade, and there is no substitute for doing it over and over. The most common mistake writers make is getting...

Having enjoyed far more access to an aircraft carrier than I would have liked in my years in the Navy, I would say follow the story. If it's a story that deals with aircraft carriers, you gotta hit the stock libraries or whatever it takes to follow the story. You have to make yourself look like...

Yes, I am actually working on the sizzle reel - we are waiting on costumes, etc. I'm not goofing off entirely, but love any feedback on the intro teaser. The Logline is: COLUMBIA (TV Sci-Fi Drama Series) A psychiatrist suffering a mid-life crisis becomes part of a sinister conspiracy when he...

Yes, I can see the potential for a clubhouse cancer to spoil your World Series chances.

Awesome. Production manager is the person I'm looking for. The name required too much common sense for me to guess.

Can I ask what the typical duties of a line producer are?

Touche, Directork about the dime a dozen bit. I think you might be right about the production manager. The top "below-the-line" position. What we used to call a Master Chief in the Navy. Unit production manager (UPM) is the Directors Guild of America–approved title for the top...

I'm looking for a role I don't know what it would be called in show biz. Someone who helps handle the non-fundraising business side of film and TV production. The actual nuts and bolts of contracting and the essential un-fun "dirty work" nobody else wants to do. I know these people are a dime...

I get it is not a story that interests you. Thanks for your feedback and best of luck on your projects.

No less of an authority than my own mother likes it, I'm going with it.

You got to be kidding me? You were the one who just said to add more about the protagonist! Go watch Naked Survivor.

Ooo, came up with one even Sweetie would love... COLUMBIA: A psychiatrist suffering a mid-life crisis becomes part of a sinister government conspiracy when he discovers beings from another galaxy are attempting to communicate through his patients.

If it's any consolation, she spends pretty much the first 1/3 of the pilot in her underwear. No holds are barred for a pilot.

I'm good, thanks. I'm not that worried about it. :)

Wow. There's really people who write whole articles about loglines?

I like your thinking, Audio. Can't do it, though. He starts the series getting busted for molesting patients, and the "aliens" help him rediscover Neverland. Kinda a reverse 'Breaking Bad.'

Tragically, it's a thinking piece and she spends a lot of time clothed.

Excellent feedback. I greatly value the opinion of somebody with a name like FantasySciFi! There are two types of loglines, the TV Guide one for channel surfers and the "in-house" one used among industry insiders to tell the story apart from others in the genre. This logline is intended for...

I guess the question should be, 'Does the logline make you want to click on a link to see the pitch video?'
