A mystically unnoticeable "Sea cliff" is the catalyst for the place of change. Story one is about an old lady, in all her alternative new age approach, change and moves on from grieving of her husband's death, before spreading his ashes into the ocean from the sea cliff. Story two is about an OCD, analytical & rigid couple, sick of their lifestyle, breaks their habits as for once they decide to go someplace chaotic(sea cliff), as they become intimate in there, later on, the once considered sterile couple are happy about becoming parents.
This is not a logline- narrow it down to A protagonist who struggles against odds (people/place/thing) in pursuit of his goal. Cut out the rest- a logline has one purpose: to get someone interested enough to want to read your…

As a fascist state that controls the GMO tech that feeds the population seeks to secure its hold on power, the poorer farmers and climate refugees in the south embark on a secret mission to get back natural seeds from a heavily fortified island.

NAW Thanks for questions. Yes- gay only teams and leagues exist... Protagonist is the homophobe (who obviously will arc into a good and all accepting guy). Was thinking of having him be an excellent soccer coach/ or excellent coach from…

The new kid in town is eager to impress the two friends she just made, and tells them wild tales of her four guardians when the latter were hell-raising young women: Stories of murder, bank robberies, and other mayhem.
I think your logline could be improved if you added "stakes" to the storytelling; example "When a new kid in town reels off facinating tales about her guradians, the impressionable audience report her to the authorities." Or something along that…

When a timid janitor?s fiance is kidnapped by a fire demon, he must locate a mythical artifact and uncover its power before the devil kills his lover and unborn child
I would capatilize Devil. Otherwise you have nailed (what I believe log lines need) the Character/Conflict/Stakes info needed to entice a reader/producer to pick up your spec. Well done.
