Popular genres right now: true crime, comedy, procedural, horror, and fantasy based on books.
Also, think about international appeal.

How to make a logline: Who's the protagonist? What's the inciting incident? What's at stake? What's the hook that makes this dissimilar? @DatingCharacter #screenwriter #screenwriting #character #characterdevelopment #film #filmmaking

Watch intro dinner scene from Little Miss Sunshine for example of how to introduce characters so that you immediately know who they are. @DatingCharacter #screenwriter #screenwriting #character #characterdevelopment #film #filmmaking
