Marie Hatten I truly love this theme and title, I think I would love this script, especially as an actress, I think the logline is almost there...almost almost...needs a bit of something...in the navigating bit, or in the end, what does she find, within or outside of herself maybe.

Marie Hatten

Wow that really resonates with me @Juliana tbh I thinks that’s one of the weak points in the script ( the ending for Emilia). Loglines are so hard , I’ll need to tweak it a little .

Westley Cornwell

What do you think about this:

“Trapped in a psychologically abusive marriage that turns violent, a young woman battles denial and fear while a female spirit urges her to confront the truth before her situation becomes fatal.“

The only thing I can’t glean from yours is who the protagonist is. We need one defining characteristic for her to shine. Something like “new mother”, “home trader”, “retired nurse” would give the reader a lot more to visualize.

Marie Hatten

Westley Cornwell that’s a much clearer take on it thank you . I don’t know that I need to state it in the logline but I want to capture the confusion created by coercive control tactics like gaslighting. I’ll need to think about the one defining characteristic for Emilia ( I think it’s interesting how evident it is that I don’t know her well enough as yet ).

Westley Cornwell

No problem! I think the ‘psychological’ bit captures that, although it might not be the most effective.
