What a Great Logline Looks Like: July 2016 Edition

The July Logline Competition results are in! Check out these great examples of how to write a logline:
THE WINNEROur winner is Matthew Barker with his logline for AS IT IS…, a half-hour pilot:
“After eons of bickering, God and Satan’s staff strip them of their powers and banish them to the Midwest where they must learn to get along as a middle-aged husband and wife or be stuck together forever.”What a fun twist on the family sit-com! This feels like an updated version of All In the Family, except Archie Bunker is actually the devil. We’d definitely watch this.
