00:00 PRINT

00:00 PRINT
By Elyen Noir

GENRE: Thriller / Suspense, Science Fiction
LOGLINE:

After inheriting a mysterious printer from his late uncle, a quiet teenager discovers it prints images of the future every midnight. When the visions grow darker—and deadlier—he must uncover the truth about its origins before one of them destroys his life.

SYNOPSIS:

Seventeen-year-old Leo, a quiet boy from a troubled family, inherits a strange printer from his late uncle. At first, it seems ordinary—until one night at exactly midnight, it prints a mysterious illustration all on its own.

The next day, Leo realizes the picture came true. Intrigued, he begins waiting for the midnight prints. At first, they're harmless: simple scenes from school, people he’ll meet. And every single one becomes reality.

But soon, the images turn darker. A shadowy forest. A bloodstained hand. A knife. His own face—cold, distant.

One night, the printer shows him holding a bloody knife over someone’s body. Terrified, Leo tries to avoid it… and it doesn’t come true. It’s the first time the printer was wrong.

Is it all just coincidence?

Still, the printer won’t stop. Every night at 00:00, it prints again—visions of things Leo doesn’t want to see. He tries to destroy it, but something stops him. His body freezes. Panic sets in. It hits him:

If the printer disappears… maybe his future does too.

Determined to find answers, Leo begins to dig into his uncle’s past. His family won’t talk—but a call to an old friend of his uncle reveals a terrifying truth:

His uncle didn’t die. He vanished.

That night, Leo sits by the printer. Midnight strikes. The paper slides out.

It’s blank.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot! I'm really glad you found it interesting – there's more madness where that came from, haha.

Unique concept and great title, Elyen Noir!

I think your logline needs more info, and I think “the visions soon turn dark… and deadly is vague.

Here’s a logline suggestion: After inheriting an old printer from his dead uncle, a _________ (the main flaw he has to overcome in the script or an adjective that describes his personality) teenager discovers it prints images of the future every midnight and _________ (his goal) to/so/in order to _________ (the stakes).

Elyen Noir

Thank you so much for your feedback! You're totally right — the original logline was too vague. I’ve just updated it based on your suggestions, and I think it fits the tone and stakes much better now. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment!

You're welcome, Elyen Noir. I think your logline is better. Two suggestions:

Change "But when" to "When"

Change "uncover the truth" to "uncover the truth about __________."
