I recently had the pleasure of finally watching the film adaptation of EILEEN based of Ottessa Moshfegh's book which I loved when I read it, I'm curious to see if anyone else has read the book and watch the film?
This makes me more excited for her adaptation of MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION with Yorgos Lanthimos!
beautifully shot by Ari Wegner too, who's credits are stacked with wonderful-looking pictures
Can you please give me some feedback on this logline and summary. HTTPs://www.stage32.com/loglines/55972
I am not a professional screenwriter. My name means nothing in Hollywood. I also have not read your screenplay, nor do I have time to collaborate. However, you might be able to get a real professional...

Thank you for the logline, your credit will remain and when we get an interested party, you will be compensated accordingly.
In the heart of 1990s NYC, journalist Patricia Richardson, shaped by her own homeless upbringing, uncovers a sinister conspiracy while trying to rescue two extraordinary brothers living beneath the city, pitting her against a corrupt mayor and risking everything for justice.
I would like to thank everybody that participated in this post. I will take your support and good spirit into the pitch meeting; everyone wishes me luck. I will keep this community informed as much as possible.
Hope the pitch meeting goes great, Tracy Richardson Talent Agent!
I'm a NYT Bestselling author and my trilogy is published with Simon & Schuster. My first novel Brooklyn Story is being made into a feature film and I had the honor of penning the script for the adaptation.

Great recommendation. Thank you for sharing Jonathan
Thats so interesting, Jonathan Jordan! Thank you for sharing this resource with the community!
Smart! "How to get signed?" One of the most asked questions here on Stage32..Will sell like hell! I wonder how many writers having read the book will have an agent within a year? There's no guaranteed ticket to heaven.
Thank you for the recommendation!
Thanks for sharing! This begs the question: has anyone used AI for 'help'? What were your experiences? I used ChatGPT once to slim down a Logline. The result wasn't great, but it helped me get to the core a lot faster :)
Jaap Ruurd Feitsma, I also think as a tool, it's great for checking and compiling research quickly. If you're writing and in a flow, but you need to switch over to fact-check something, you can easily...

But on a serious note, I once had a professor tell me that when you write...

Hahaha, glad to know I'm not alone in... SQUIRREL!
AI is definitely terrible over any sort of long form writing. I'll use it sometimes for location descriptions of places I've never been with a simple prompt like: "Describe 1820s London in 3 sentences." Which will output something smart looking and pithy that I can play around with.
