Introduce Yourself

The title is perfect! As someone who loves diving into the Gen Z psyche, this feels essential. It’s like SKAM France meets REALITY +

Thanks for asking.

FILTERED FOR LIFE is a sci-fi thriller with dark comedy elements, set in a near future where facial filters become permanently stuck after a global tech glitch. Society collapses because nobody can recognize anyone anymore from law enforcement to family, relationships, work, and identity itself.

As chaos grows, a group of teenagers tries to uncover the origin of the malfunction and quickly realizes the filters were never just cosmetic they were a control system.

The show explores themes like authenticity, technology addiction, social masks, and identity, while keeping a grounded and satirical tone.

The project is already fully written and protected (script + series bible registered), and I’m now looking for development and production partners.

If you’d like, I’d be happy to send the logline or arrange a short pitch.

Thanks again for reaching out.

You're welcome, Yeshua Manéré. FILTERED FOR LIFE sounds interesting and really unique! What hooked me was "set in a near future where facial filters become permanently stuck after a global tech glitch. Society collapses because nobody can recognize anyone anymore from law enforcement to family, relationships, work, and identity itself."

You could post your logline in the comments. That way, I can give you feedback on it (and other members if they want) and producers, directors, executives, etc. can see your logline.

Thanks Maurice Vaughan ! Here's the full pitch:

FILTERED FOR LIFE – A global tech glitch permanently attaches AR filters to people's faces. Society collapses when no one can recognize anyone anymore, not law enforcement, not families, not even themselves. Four teenagers discover the filters were never cosmetic... they were a control system.

FORMAT: 10 episodes × 30 minutes

GENRE: Dark sci-fi comedy / Satire

VIBE: Black Mirror meets Upload meets Don't Look Up

TARGET: 13-35 years old / International audience

AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH:

✓ Pilot script (Episode 1: "The World Is Beautiful Until 2:32 PM")

✓ Pitch deck (2 pages)

✓ Director's statement

✓ Original soundtrack (opening theme + 4 songs)

✓ 4K teaser trailer

✓ Legally protected (SACD registration in progress)

WHAT'S WRITTEN (in French, translation available upon request):

• Full season (10 episodes scripted)

• Complete series bible (50 pages)

• Character arcs, world-building, thematic breakdown

WHY THIS SHOW NOW:

We live in a world obsessed with appearance. This series explores what happens when the mask becomes permanent, when technology meant to enhance us becomes our prison, and when society realizes the filters were never about beauty, they were about control.

WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE:

• Grounded sci-fi (credible 5G tech premise from a former telecom technician)

• Four teens outsmart adults and governments

• Moral dilemmas with no easy answers

• Dark comedy that doesn't shy away from consequences

• A community that REFUSES to go back to "normal"

I'm currently seeking development and production partners.

Series bible available in French (English translation upon request).

Would love to discuss further if this resonates with you!

You're welcome, @Yeshua. I think your logline could be tightened up some, and I suggest adding the teens' goal to your logline.

Here’s a logline template that might help: After/when ______ (the inciting incident/event that sets the plot in motion), a _______ (the main flaw the protagonist has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes the protagonist’s personality) _______ (the protagonist’s job/career/role) tries to/attempts to/fights to/struggles to/strives to/sets out to/fights/battles/engages in/competes/etc. _______ (goal of story and try to add the obstacles here) to/so/in order to ________ (stakes).

The inciting incident can also be at the end of the logline: A _______ (the main flaw the protagonist has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes the protagonist’s personality) _______ (the protagonist’s job/career/role) tries to/attempts to/fights to/struggles to/strives to/sets out to/fights/battles/engages in/competes/etc. _______ (goal of story and try to add the obstacles here) to/so/in order to ________ (stakes) after/when ______ (the inciting incident/event that sets the plot in motion).

Loglines are one or two sentences. A one-sentence logline sounds better, and it takes less time for a producer, director, etc. to read it. Try to keep your logline to 35 words or less. Long loglines can make producers, directors, etc. pass on a project.

Avoid using “must” in loglines. “Must” usually means the protagonist is forced to do whatever they need to do in the story instead of doing it willingly. You might need to use “must” in a logline though, like when the protagonist is forced by another character to do something. Using “must” to choose between two options is fine.

Names in loglines are usually for biopics, well-known stories, and franchises (like Mission: Impossible).

Sometimes I put the location and date that the story takes place in instead of the inciting incident if it’s a Period Piece script.

All stories don’t follow this logline template. Biopics, documentaries, and Experimental scripts might not follow the template. The series logline for a TV show can follow this template, but the pilot logline and episode loglines for the show might not.

I never been a professional writer but I dream of it because some times I wrote a story about my past

First, congratulations on finishing your script, Savannah. Having a story you're passionate about is the most important asset of all. There are still powerful ways to move forward. Start by using the free resources here: polish your logline and synopsis in your profile, network genuinely in the lounges, and participate in discussions.

Savannah Cross The paid sessions here are not actual pitch sessions, they are practice sessions, as are stated in the product descriptions. If they were actual pitch sessions, they would be illegal. Real pitch sessions are never paid for. You have to reach out the producers directly.

You're right, Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg. The main purpose of the Pitch Sessions is to get feedback to improve a pitch, but sometimes the executives, managers, etc. will request scripts, sign writers, etc. (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories).

Maurice Vaughan Which is fine to say for S32 as a social media platform, but the producers, if they receive compensation, can be tagged with pay-to-play and that ruins careers in this industry. So best to make it clear (which the advertising does),

Thanks for the introduction!
