A shot at a one-liner:
[Amended as of 24 September 2005 -
"A reporter becomes the subject of scrutiny when an assignment takes her back to the neighbourhood she ran away from 10 years ago."
This new 1-liner has just been thought of this morning. Sort of like an "Eureka!" moment for Eng Tiong and I. We know the importance of getting the 1-liner right.
Till we find a better logline, this is it!]
"In a neighbourhood she ran away from 10 years ago, a TV reporter has to keep her own skeletons in the closet while unearthing a most shocking story."
It's strange. I find one-liner's the hardest to write. The story gist in 30 words or less. Someone somewhere said not more than 25. It's so much easier to tell the gist of other people's films but when it comes to my own, I'm at a lost.
The story takes place in a single location - a particular block of flats in Tiong Bahru. The inspiration for this story isn't hard. Eng Tiong, the other pilgrim in Pilgrim Pictures, grew up there.
The initial story is actually a horror film. Through the many intense discussions and really heated arguments, the story's genre has evolved into a drama with a touch of mystery/ suspense.
