on In exchange for escaping a house haunted by a demon, a group of teenaged friends must vote to decide which one of them must stay behind to be killed.

Thanks. I intend this to be a low- or microbudget feature.
on After being severely hurt by a grenade at Hitler youth camp, a prideful and nationalistic ten-year old boy discovers that his mother is hiding a fifteen year old Jewish girl in their house.

After being severely hurt by a grenade at Hitler youth camp, a prideful and nationalistic ten-year old boy discovers that his mother is hiding a fifteen year old Jewish girl in their house. This logline peaked my interest: stories about…
on After stealing from his father, a selfish juvenile must survive in a hostile crowd as he seeks to purchase a pair of the hottest sneakers ever.

on After ten people go missing a 5th grade prodigy tries to figure out the case

A film with a 10 year-old detective has definite marketable possibilities as a children's film. But this logline leaves me wondering who the little detective will be going up against (include the antagonist), who vanished (other children? Parents?) and what…
on A divorced, middle-aged man is unexpectedly given full custody of his two teenage kids after his ex-wife dies in a freak accident. In exchange for his kids' cooperation, he has to participate in their school's breakdance recital.

The breakdancing idea certainly stands out, and dance and "comedy dad" movies are popular. My impressions are that the story gets off to too-grim start. The mother dies and the father "unexpectedly" gets custody. That implies that there was a…
