Dawn's Plot Swap
Have a plot? Leave one
Need a plot ? Take one
I went to a workshop once where the presenter compared loglines to the little blurbs you see on your TV guide. As an experiment I scrolled through my guide for some plot ideas and give you these basics plot lines.
What could you make from this starting point?
Check back later this weekend and I'll post what movies they represent.
A grifter and his seductive girlfriend swindle men out of money , until she meets another con man...
The Hustle (TV Movie)
Personal demons, complicated romantic entanglements and the demands of fame threaten to derail the comeback tour of a super star.
Country Strong
Country Strong
Death at a Funeral
A petty crook returns to win back his ex-wife after she rejects her longtime lover's marriage proposal on national television.

So, swap with me! Got a logline to share? From movies, television? Your own WIP?

Ooooh! These are all so good! I particularly like the one about the crook. That could go so many fun places, and even literally.
What if the petty crook never really was that. What if all these years he's been undercover but couldn't tell her, losing her to a more "upstanding man", but she rejects him because God help her she just can't get over the criminal. :) Like it!
I can't write a concise log line to save my life. Whassup with that?
Jessica~ You always come up with the coolest ideas!
Teri- I can't write them either. That's why I borrowed these from the TV! :)
