How to Sell Your Idea

Writing Killer LOGLINES
 

Presenter: Philip C. Sedgwick


So, you have a script or a concept. You fuss and fret with your elevator pitch, but do you have a great logline? Can you intrigue, woe and garner interest in thirty-three words or less?  If not, you absolutely must attend IFA's January 9th meeting.

In this presentation we'll talk about:

What's a logline?

How to create a great logline.
How's that different from a tagline?
Logline examples -- the good, the bad, the ugly -- audience votes!


Got a Logline? 

Bring it and we'll give you audience and judges feedback!

Philip, Genie, and special guest Victoria Lucas will give feedback
and take comments from audience.
