Well, i want to show flashbacks of the old man while he is lost in the city. He want to do a long trip but he forgot where he is going. I would like to do a Drama - Comedy film so i want to go deep on each character (the old man, wife and 2 sons).
Having just watched 'A Separation' recently, is the old man the main character? If he is, how does the audience relate and emote to him?
What are the conflicts that the family will face?
Could make for an emotional story :)
Here are a few questions to consider for the next draft of your logline:
What is the genre?
And what does 'wanted by his family' mean?
I assume that the real goal for our protagonist is to find his way back home. Is this correct?
I am also wondering about the stakes. He's lost in the city but surely people will help him when they understand his situation.
What exactly is cinematic about this idea? I will need a lot more to believe this could be an interesting screen story. Perhaps have a read of the tips on this site and then post an updated version of the logline in the comments below. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your logline here.
