EVERGREEN
By Ray Crites

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE:

When a bullied high school outcast falls hard for a troubled goth girl, only to watch her fall for the charms of his sadistic alpha-bro tormentor, he makes a fateful decision that could rip their whole f'ng world apart.  

This is not your average coming-of-RAGE-story!

Ray Crites This logline captures a familiar but emotionally resonant teen drama setup, with themes of identity, self-worth, and unrequited love. The emotional stakes are clear, and the character arc, an outcast finding the courage to stand up for himself, has strong audience appeal. To strengthen it, consider hinting at the tone (is it gritty, dark, coming-of-age, or romantic?) and what “standing up for himself” truly entails. Does it lead to confrontation, transformation, or unexpected consequences? A touch more specificity could help it stand out in a well-tread genre.
