For the past week we've been trying to condense our screenplay into a catchy 1 to 3 sentence synopsis that would invite a total stranger to open the first page and read it. It has not been easy.
However, I think we're finally onto something at least according to our somewhat twisted sense of humor. To get an idea of what's out there we read several blogs that showed numerous pitches which were brutal, boring, grammatically suspect or just plain awful.
So, our research definitely inspired some confidence, and I decided there was nowhere to go but up. And with in mind here's what we've come up with to send off to various contests/queries:
Boy bands, pop culture and polar bears collide during a wild train ride through Europe which explores a seedy universe populated with has-been actors, German barons, heated housewives, and a degenerate train conductor who knows everyone's secrets.
A truly bizarre combination of characters and events, but I would at least read the first few pages of that screenplay. The real question, however, is would anyone who actually matters read our script?
We'll see.
