Nikhil Chohan: Story analyst, screenwriter and script consultant in Amritsar, India.

You can only have one or the other: would you rather have your script be a blockbuster or academy winner?

Hello All, I'm coming from the world of novels and short stories, so log lines are a new beast to face. I am hoping to get your help to chisel down what I have into a lean, mean fighting machine. The screenplay is a coming of age, rock music, road trip drama.

To reach rock stardom, an adopted, punk rock drummer must sacrifice her band, confront her scheming birth father, and topple a music publisher before they can steal her mother’s last song.

Any feedback/advice/criticism is greatly appreciated. Even if you're content isn't directly related to my log line, I'd love to hear about your process. douglas esper

Thanks for connecting!

Hello everyone my name is Jeion Green and I am hiring.

I'm noticing that I have a lot of people looking at my logline on inktip but it doesn't go beyond that and I'm wondering if I can get some help with my logline as I'm trying to make it concise yet attention grabbing... help!!!

This is what I have had on inktip for my script 'Dumb Broke Love': "Jessica, a driven gamer struggling to make ends meet, finds herself navigating the ups and downs of dating in the big city while juggling a complicated job. When she meets Walter, a bartender buried in debt, their romance faces challenges as they both grapple with the harsh realities of love, trust, doing what it takes to make a living."

Hi everyone~ hope you're so far having a good Saturday. Just curious, what are your views on love triangles in your scripts? Do you feature them? Do you enjoy reading/watching them?

I adore them and think they're lots of fun if they're written well, as well as an excellent source of character development.

Currently working on an idea for feature screenplay based on a true story that has family connections. It takes place in 1942 England, but while I like the idea of the story, I worry that this is a time and place that has been massively overdone. There's a daemon on my shoulder saying "don't waste your time, no-one wants to watch old world war 2 stories."

This isn't Oppenheimer or Zone of Interest - am I right to be concerned about the commerciality of the idea, or should I forget all that and just go for it?

Your thoughts, as ever, are very welcome.
