The I.S.A. interviews Hal Croasmun
Craig James here from the I.S.A. I recently had the chance to interview Hal Croasmun
of ScreenwritingU about loglines and felt this was so good that I just had to share
it with our group.
CRAIG: Hey Hal, you've met a lot of producers and pitched scripts. What are the
basics that have to be there in a strong logline.
HAL: Basics? Character, main conflict or goal, and a sense of the story. We need
to know who the main character is that we're going to follow through the story.
Then, what is the difficult situation they are put in -- main conflict, dilemma,
or goal that is threatened? And then something that makes this story special --
could be a unique strategy, an incongruent pairing, a cool antagonist, or giving
us the irony of this story.

For winners of the big contests, Hollywood doors open magically and suddenly, your
work is considered, read, and sometimes even bought. It can be a dream come true.
Even the medium sized or smaller contests offer some industry exposure and bragging
rights. But with 500 - 5,000 entries, the competition is fierce….Winning a contest
takes you one step closer to the possibility of selling a script.

Raising the Marketability of a Character-driven Story
One of the most satisfying things to write is a great character- driven story. When
you delve deep into the psyches of characters and watch them make the tough decisions,
it can be absolutely fascinating...
But is it marketable? Can you sell it?
Producers say they want great character pieces. Actors talk about how they chose
a script because they loved the characters. But most of Hollywood won't even look
at a script by an unproduced writer that doesn't have a highly marketable concept.
