Hi Reagan,

The stakes really don’t feel that high in your logline, most people can hold their breath for at least a couple of minutes. I obviously haven’t read the script, but I would encourage you to come up with a better logline. This doesn’t make me want to read the script.

All the best.

Quoted Text
INT. JONATHAN’S HOUSE - MORNING

It begins with a fade sound in a hallway of a house. The
fade sound turns into music.

While you are in the hallway the angle turns to an open
door which is the bathroom.

You see a shower with a curtain around it. And then the
song you realize is jailhouse rock by Elvis Presley.

You get closer and closer to the curtain and then right
before you get to it you then change to JONATHAN’S face
inside the shower. His face is full of fright and the song
gets louder


This is going to need a lot of work.

You need to lose all the you - we.  

Don't start with it begins. We know it is the beginning. It's page 1.  

Put Hallway in your opening slug. Saves the need to do it later

What is a fade sound?

Sorry - but not good enough to read on.
