Hi all,
I'm posting my logline and synopsis for a screenplay I just completed. I'd appreciate any feedback on the strength and appeal of the concept. Thanks in advance for any feedback. (I'm double posting this at the DoneDealPro Message Boards)
LOGLINE: A troubled young man runs for his life from a corporate assassin who posed as an online friend.
SYNOPSIS:
Paul Euler is a young man running away from his past. He gets a job at Sunstorm, a revolutionary solar energy company seeking to launch satellites into space and harvest energy directly from the sun. Paul hopes to fade into anonymity as a lowly handyman, but Sunstorm’s team-driven culture requires him to make friends.
He tries out their social networking site and finds, to his surprise, that he meets people he actually likes. Especially Liz, a beautiful and witty company nurse who guides him through the games played on the social network. He meets another friend, Bryson Tamlin, who takes a keen interest in Paul. One little problem: Bryson is a corporate assassin hired to kill Sunstorm’s visionary CEO. Paul becomes Bryson’s unwitting helper in the murder.
Soon Paul is on the run for his life, as Bryson seeks to eliminate the only link between himself and the murder. The only person helping Paul is Liz, who puts her life on the line to help Paul out of feelings of growing love. The killer will never stop hunting them. The only way to survive is to expose the identity of the real power behind the murder and bring him to justice.
