If you’re willing to write a 337 page script, maybe a log line wouldn’t be too much more to ask. Something to entice a reader in, I doubt anyone’s going to a dive into a script this length without a clue what it’s about.

Hey there, Barry

I have to agree with Twenteen. 337 pages is quite an undertaking to read. I can appreciate that you may have put a ton of work into writing something that long. I commend you for that.'

BUT, without any logline, no one, and I mean no one is going to read this. With so may reading options on this site, no one is going to waste time by reading something so long and have no idea what's it about.

Think of it this way, if your friend tells you to watch a movie or a certain tv show you're most likely going to ask them what it's about every time. You want to know what you're getting into. Same with reading scripts.

Until you have a log line, no one will give your script a chance, I'm sorry. And while you're working on a logline, maybe consider cutting your script down to AT LEAST 130 pages.

You're writing a screenplay, not a book.

Until then,
Happy Writing

-Austin
