The reason to keep reading is because you're interested in the characters.” [10:00] “Your first twenty pages are about developing a relationship with the reader and having them trust you and be confident in you. Typos break that ability to have that trust.” [24:14] “The most important people to you in your career are people one step down and one step up the ladder from you.” [40:10] “The problem with union benefits is the volume of work you have to do to keep them.” [48:57] Mentioned What is a Logline?  Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web https://nofilmschool.com/ Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/nofilmschool Twitter  https://twitter.com/nofilmschool YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/user/nofilmschool Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nofilmschool Send us an email with questions or feedback: podcast@nofilmschool.com!

In a recent podcast interview with host Floyd Marshall Jr., James "Doc" Mason, a seasoned screenwriter, producer, and consultant, shared his insights on crafting a compelling logline that captures the attention of Hollywood executives. His book, "Mastering the Logline: How to Excite Hollywood in a Single Sentence," serves as a guide for aspiring writers to create loglines that entice industry professionals to read their scripts. In this interview, Mason discussed the importance of the logline, the common pitfalls writers face, and the key elements that make a logline successful. The Significance of Loglines: Mason explained that a well-crafted logline is crucial as it acts as a gateway for industry professionals to decide whether to read a script. He emphasized that a logline is not merely a description of the story but rather a concise representation of the central conflict. Mason believes that a logline should be intriguing and pique the curiosity of the reader, providing them with enough information to get them excited about the script. Crafting a Phenomenal Logline: During the interview, Mason discussed the challenges writers face when condensing an entire story into just a few sentences. He highlighted the importance of understanding the central conflict and effectively describing it in 30 to 35 words. Mason stressed that writers should focus on capturing the essence of the conflict rather than attempting to describe the entire story. By doing so, writers can create loglines that generate interest and compel readers to request the full script. The Role of Conflict: Mason emphasized that loglines revolve around conflict and that writers should prioritize conveying this conflict in their loglines. He discussed Christopher Lockhart's approach to loglines, which centers on the three Cs: conflict, conflict, and conflict. Mason expanded on Lockhart's method, explaining that loglines should aim to describe the central conflict of the story, providing readers with a clear understanding of what the protagonist is up against. Understanding the Elements of a Logline: Mason identified nine essential elements that should be included in a logline. These elements encompass the story's protagonist, the goal they strive to achieve, the stakes involved, the main conflict, and the unique premise that sets the story apart. By incorporating these elements into a logline, writers can create a compelling and comprehensive overview of their script. The Journey to Success: Throughout the interview, Mason shared his personal journey as a screenwriter and how his experiences shaped his understanding of loglines. From his early days working at Blockbuster Video to owning his own video store, Mason's passion for movies ultimately led him to pursue a career in writing. He discussed the ups and downs of his career, including the persistence required to see his scripts come to fruition, such as his upcoming project, "Journey to Now." Conclusion: Crafting an enticing logline is a crucial skill for screenwriters, as it serves as the gateway to grabbing the attention of Hollywood executives. James "Doc" Mason's book, "Mastering the Logline," offers valuable insights and guidance to help writers create loglines that excite industry professionals. By understanding the central conflict, focusing on the key elements, and capturing the essence of the story, writers can increase their chances of getting their scripts noticed in a highly competitive industry. ======== Submit Your Film to Our Film Collective: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ifapfilmcollective.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect With Floyd Marshall Jr: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/floydmarshalljr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@floydmarshalljr0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aconversationwithfm/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/aconversationwithfm/support

Farewelling is a wildly creative psychological thriller made out of the deep frustrations the creators were feeling from the pandemic. The Director particularly wanted to focus on the challenges women specifically went through during the pandemic, and through the female lens. There were so many mental health challenges women faced, but yet due to prioritizing everyone else's well being above their own, they neglected their own mental health. Logline of film: In the midst of the pandemic and aftermath of her best friend's overdose, Jenna finds herself in crisis as she reunites with those still around her. Questions of her own ethics and morals surface as she grapples with the “why” of everything, eventually discovering what it takes to truly break us. Director/ Writer/Producer Rodes Phire. Executive Producer by Ty Gordon. “Jenna” is played by Cristen Coppen (Shameless).

Adam chats with Lance Daniel, creator of the animated series "Carbuncle" about a wise cracking (but caring) attorney who guides oddball clients through crazy cases inspired by current headlines. You'll find out exactly what a Logline is, how "Carbuncle" was begun and continues through spite, and how to keep going when people tell you no as well as how much needs to be done before the show is even pitched.

In this conversation with director Vivian Säde and producer Eve Tisler we talk about a short film we've been working on (named Echo and created around the monodrama Sentiment by Juliana Hall and Caitlin Vincent) in order to talk openly about all the work that goes into any creative project, even when things never actually "click" to make the project to happen. We also talk about "women filmmakers," budgets, artists and mental health and how opera on film is gatekept, among other things.

Marriage is on the horizon. OSCARS are an arms length away. And yet, Steve and Josh haven't seen a single thing. No one knows why.

Today's chapter of the #WordWeaverPodcast is short and sweet, but imperative for a great story. Learning how to write a book premise, logline, and define your book's elevator pitch is the first step to writing a book. The second step is structuring, outlining, and plotting — but first, you need to understand your book's central idea/theme, what drives the plot. Typically, a premise needs to contain 3 things in a single sentence: A protagonistA goal (what does your protagonist want or need?)A situation or crisis (the protagonist is facing)You should be able to define what your story is about, why readers should care, and be able to complete this sentence: [Character] must [do something] to [story goal] or else [disaster/crisis situation/reason why the audience should care].The Word Weaver Podcast is available on all podcast platforms and now on YouTube.Word Weaver Podcast LinksInstagram: @wordweaverpodcastWebsite: louiseclairejohnson.com/podcast#wordweaverpodcastNEW episodes weekly on Word Weaver Wednesdays.
