IT WILL NEVER BE
By AJ Núñez
Close to reaching his 50th birthday Franco takes on a new project. This time is different. He uses all the skills he had developed over the course of, what he now realizes was a prodigious life, and sure enough, he finds himself nominated for an Academy Award. This event triggers a trait of his personality that pulls him back to the quandary again. This can only mean two things. It is time to leave the phantasm behind, or to start all over again.

What you have for a logline is more of a short synopsis, AJ Núñez.
For a logline, you want something like: "After ______ (the inciting incident/the event that sets the plot in motion), a _______ (the protagonist with an adjective) tries to _______ (goal of story) so ________ (stakes)."
Loglines are one or two sentences (preferably one sentence). You can add the antagonist in the logline. The inciting incident can also be at the end of the logline.
Example #1:
"After a group of dog criminals arrives in a small town, an impulsive dog sheriff defends a dog treat factory so they won't steal food that's meant for hungry dog families."
Example #2:
"A dysfunctional couple works together to survive against bears after they crash on an abandoned road miles from help."
NOTE: Not all stories will follow this logline template. Biopics, TV shows (the overall logline for a show might not follow this template, but the logline for an episode in the show could), and documentaries might not follow this template.
