Hi Tasha, the 'idea' behind your logline message is very sweet but I'm not seeing a 'story' in it. Is it a story of a particular person (adult) who has a coming-of-age experience as a result of lessons they learn from their wiser-than-their-years child (or something like that)?

I see (I think). I take it this is a 'documentary-genre film? It's a very worthwhile and meaningful topic. My point isn't in the quality or value of the story but in how it's being described as a 'film'. For example; "a short format family documentary centered around the teaching skills and style of gifted-children learning specialist Cynthia Tobias." That type of thing.

A TV program is content created for a general audience. The content you propose making is specific to the parents who hire you to create a short film about their child(ren). TV studios buy content that is fairly generic - apart from a biopic or documentary. It reads more like an advertisement than a logline.

Sample Logline: “Gifted” follows cynical aspiring film director Anna Miller, who begrudgingly makes short films about the seemingly frivolous lives of privileged children for their wealthy parents. Her class biases are shattered when she is hired by the parent of a terminally ill child, forcing her to confront her prejudices and discover a deeper purpose in her work.
