"When a demo reel is discovered in a music studio being renovated a freelance writer, Darin Morgan, is hired to find the musician in Clarksdale, Mississippi and write a fluff piece. As he investigates the aging musician, he inadvertently uncovers a kidnapping plot that sparks a battle in the war of good versus evil."

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Kelly, I notice your script is finally up. I'll give some feedback on your screenplay and logline a little later. Just acknowledging your post for now.

Edit:
If you could narrow down your genre to one or two major categories what would it be?

Okay, take out (being renovated), take out the writer character's  name. Unless this character is iconic and known to us (e.g. Bond, Reacher,) it's generally not needed in a logline.

Suggest something like:
After a long-lost demo reel is discovered, a freelance writer is tasked with writing a fluff piece about a famous musician in Clarksdale, Mississippi. The investigation takes a dark turn however, when he stumbles upon a kidnapping plot involving... ?

'a war of good versus evil' is a little generic and doesn't tell an audience enough, so can you elaborate on the stakes here? Elaborate on what the character must do to avert unleashing of this evil etc.

Tell me about the kidnapping plot - is it yet to happen, did it happen in the past?

Just giving this a quick glance...

Not sure the demo reel part is necessary for the logline. "A freelance writer hired to write a fluff piece on an aging musician uncovers..."

I think what's missing for me is the protagonist's goal. What is the conflict, and how is the protagonist instrumental in resolving it? Without reading the script, I have no idea how to answer those questions from just the logline. I think it needs to be in there. And, it can't be "defeat evil."

Thanks, both of these are good, they're making me get more to the heart of it.

"A freelance writer and a young journalist stumble onto the killing floor of the Mississippi Delta."

I'm working on it during the script corrections. The above logline is short but seems to work as a blurb. Looking into how short loglines can be, I read that a growing trend is to describe them in 25 words or less.

So, it may work as a logline too?

I'm still contemplating, but I think it does work as a blurb.
