By Rutger Oosterhoff

A moral, but romantically conflicted young man is confronted by a deity whose offer for conflict resolution is more tempting than temptation itself.

Intriguing. Definitely makes me want to find out more! How are things going on the festival circuit?

Rutger Oosterhoff

Tanks Russel, in fact the logline is more like a good tagline, so your rating is spot on (maybe a bit high). The festival circuit is ok, not great. But for me the most important thing is that people are going to see the short film. I guess that's why we make them?! Next screening at Sunscreen West Film Festival, saterday okt 7. Waiting to see if we qualify for "Arizona Short" and a bunch of other festivals to come.

The way this is written makes me curious. Also, I like that you don't consider this to be "fantasy" genre but DRAMA. I get annoyed when producers, managers or other decision-makers assume spiritual or metaphysical entities must be fantasy in stories, whether Christian or Pagan or any other religion-focused. It places a limitation on what many experience as real (although supernatural perhaps).

Thanks for rating, all! Valerie, most of the credit goes to Philip. What you state is interesting. Never thought of this. Have to let it sink in. See what I can do with this new knowledge.

I like your style Rutger:

But, I want more...this is a decent(but long)tagline. With a little more info I could help with this... For instance...

Stakes: What are they?

Antagonist: Perhaps a little more of a dramatic, rather than "fantasy" Antagonist: For instance... an enigmatic man/woman seemingly possessing supernatural powers...temptingly offers...

World/Setting/Tone: "contained drama/thriller": while in an elevator headed to the 31st floor...

Ryan Alexnder

Oops...just saw it's been made. Congrats. I hope it's doing well.

Rutger Oosterhoff

You're right about the logline Ryan, it isn't really a logline or tagline, more something in between. Philip and I didn,'t care because the film was going to be made snyway. I somehow like it, but you're right. About the offer, I have to think about it. Could send you "Serial Twins"

Rutger Oosterhoff

PS -- elevator is going yo hell, where else!

Rutger Oosterhoff

... Thought about it. I'm good, but thanks for asking.
