Would it be possible to get more of a log line? This one doesn't really tell us what the story is about. It's just (in appearance) the first couple of sentences of a paragraph.
The "logline" is pretty much the very beginning of the story.
16 year old Billy, turns into 36 year old Billy and his life is in shambles. He gets the opportunity to go back in time and reverse his fortune. Think along the lines of Mr. Destiny.
Not too bad from what I skimmed of the first half, but an odd structure and a little lengthy in spots.
I apologize for not following up. I just found out about the discussion boards tonight by accident. As for the logline, it was actually the first few sentences of the synopsis. The actual logline is "When a young man screws up his future, he decides to reinvent his past, no matter who he hurts in the present." I'm not sure how to change it on the website, though. [bert's edit: fixed it] I have also greatly revised the script since it was posted here, hopefully addressing the problems with wordiness that Shelton referred to.
Thanks to its listing on this website, I have been contacted by a producer who is interested in making a film of The Timeskinner. He has produced some short films and this would be his first feature length project. Thank you, Simply Scripts, for opening the door!
