The Log-Line and Basic Pitch

Here’s my most updated log-line.  I’ll attach the script too if y’all want to look at it.

“The Best Bagels in the Whole World” is a short drama, between 15 and 30 minutes in length, exploring the bonds of friendship, family, and home, and the ways in which those bonds twist and fall apart.  Ian reluctantly returns home to northern New Jersey after a stint away at college, but he won’t be able to avoid his best friend Andy or the looming tragedy in their shared pasts. At first, the nostalgic, boisterous Andy slowly sucks Ian back into the diners, drinks, and highway drives of Jersey.  But the more time Ian spends in his old stomping grounds, the more he begins to sense something unsettling, and even sinister, ­­­­in the actions of his old friend.  Finally Ian uncovers a secret which forces him to the brink of a horrifying choice – to leave forever, or try to pick life’s shattered pieces.

Script Bagels

The Best Bagels

Here’s my basic idea,

A short film, between 15 and 30 minutes in length, exploring the bonds of friendship, family, and home, and the ways in which those bonds fade and fall apart.  Ian reluctantly returns home to northern New Jersey after a stint away at college, but he won’t be able to avoid his best friend Andy, or the looming tragedy in their shared pasts. The more Ian is wrenched back into the diners, drinks, and highway drives of Jersey, the more he begins to suspect that the event that sent him away from home in the first place is far more than it seems.

I am looking forward to this.  Should be fun to work with everyone!
