A major production company is looking for low-budget thriller features with high-concept premises and strong commercial appeal. Writers whose screenplays boast tightly structured narratives and steadily escalating tensions are strongly encouraged to apply. 

The Pro is particularly interested in gritty, grounded thrillers that feel visceral and immediate. These are intense, character-driven narratives built around an ever-evolving mystery or danger. Regarding the characters, they enjoy seeing ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Such a dynamic allows for high personal stakes with rich psychological and emotional depth. 

Recommended feature comps include A Simple Favor, The Gift, Gone Girl, Searching, and The Night House.

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.
