Hi K,
Kudos on all those wins! Two thoughts for you:
- I agree with Geoffrey that it could be shorter. Tough to do sometimes, but worth the parsing if you can.
- Is there something specific in the plot or story arc that you could mix in to give us a good "hook"?
Great job and good luck!
Wow. That is fantastic and congratulations on your accolades. The only note I have if you want to shorten this up a bit would be:
In 1870, A recently freed slave faces life and death in his quest for freedom from his obsessed master.
That sounds like a very cool script. The log line seems a little long and a little fragmented.
A recently freed slave on the run from his obsessed former master must survive an unfamiliar frontier.
