A major production company is looking for holiday features within any subgenre. They are interested in all holidays but are particularly eager to find the next Christmas classic. Their works tend to target a global market, so international appeal would be a welcome quality. 

The Pro is drawn to works that are reflective and character driven. True stories that reveal forgotten chapters in a holiday’s history are greatly desired. As mentioned, they are open to any holiday subgenre, from Valentine's Day comedies to Halloween thrillers. 

Recommended comps include: Halloween, Plane's Trains and Automobiles, Breaking Fast, Sleepless in Seattle, and The Prince of Egypt.

Successful loglines can convey a great deal of information in only one or two sentences. This includes:

A distinct main character that promises a strong emotional arc.
A clear concept and insight into how it will develop in the second act.
An understanding of how your unique character and clever concept are synergizing with one another.
An implicit tone for the project overall.

Our ISA Logline Review Service provides over a page of commentary, with notes on up to four variations of your logline. Our Reading Team member will also compose a new logline designed to cover all of the above standards.

Our other Script Notes Services can help your screenplay succeed in the highly competitive Writing Gigs environment. One common trait found in successful Gig users is that they are always improving their material.
