In the year 2112, Tom Sawyer discovers a guitar, forbidden by The Priests of Syrinx. Embracing The Spirit of Radio, Tom wants to express his Freewill through music. Forced to Fly By Night, he uncovers a secret Closer to the Heart that threatens the governing technocracy.

There’s a song called “Home by the Sea” by the band Genesis – Google it or listen to its ghostly lyrics. So, I had this great idea of making a horror short with the same song name based on its premise. A buddy of mine who’s an independent filmmaker mentioned “Yea, you can’t do that without some sort of permission” Long story short, after weeks of legalese rabbit holes as a noob, I figured the best bet was to hire council.

It starts in 2112.

Thanks for responding!

Could you please elaborate?

Agreed, beware OP - the lawyer "Eye of Sauron" is gazing upon your logline ;)

I wish I could edit.

I said ABBA treatment but I think perhaps more along the lines of "Heavy Metal" (The animated movie) to Rush songs.

This might work. It obviously isn't a normal logline but I do see where you are going.

Doing the ABBA treatment to Rush

Was he transported to 2112, already establishing a sci-fi element? Or is this a new story? Overall, I think you could get your three sentences down to one by eliminating repetition. This sounds a lot like the stage play "We Will Rock You." Personally, the Rush songs are not relatable to me but if this was a favorite band of mine, maybe it would hit more? Either way, this sounds like a great story for older rock fans. You would have to target very specifically when querying.
