It’s finally here!
Movie Tagline Showdown
It ain’t just loglines anymore!
If you’ve never participated in a Logline Showdown, this is how they work. You read the five entries down below, decide which one you like best, then vote for it in the comments section. We love to hear why you liked (or disliked) an entry. So, if you have time, let us know why you chose your winner.
You’re probably wondering how the addition of a movie tagline affects things. Look, you vote however you want . If you love a logline, vote for that entry. If you love a tagline, vote for that entry. Ultimately, I’d like to find the best script and the logline will be a better indicator of that. But you do you! I’m not going to tell you how to vote.
Oh, and enough with the protests! Just vote. This is the opportunity for someone to get some publicity for their script. You could help them do that. But not if you don’t vote.
All right, it’s time for this month’s entries. Good luck, everyone!
