GOOD SAMARITAN
By Nick Pinelli

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

After being dumped by his girlfriend for not being a “good person”, a selfish guy sets out to prove he is, even if it kills him.

SYNOPSIS:

Walter is dumped by his girlfriend for not being a nice person. In retaliation, he sets out to prove her wrong by doing one good deed. In doing so, Walter finds himself in bar fights, evading the police,competitive corn hole games, possibly running over a pedestrian, and even putting a stop to an illegal human trafficking ring. But that might be what it takes to be a good person these days.

Hey Nick. I think you have a very good base concept here. Your synopsis has enough information that you could probably utilize in your logline. For instance (After being dumped by his girlfriend, a selfish guy sets out to prove his worth through one good deed but is sidelined by increasing acts of debauchery and vigilantism which threatens to claim his life.)

The adjective "selfish" already gives the reader a picture of why his girlfriend might have dumped him, so I'm not sure if the line "not being a good person" is necessary in the context of your logline.
