With the success of Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken", copycat Hollywood might be about as receptive to your piece as they will ever be. Triumph over obstacles is one of the most compelling stories we humans tell each other. Suggest you shop a log line that emphasizes the main character's strength of will.

I know you don't follow sports Ketch, but there has been a lot of press the last 6 months about domestic violence issues amongst players in the NFL (American) football league. Suggest you note the topical interest in the issue when pitching the story - maybe some development exec will latch onto that angle to champion the project…

Thanks Blair!

I have been reading about Unbroken, and it seemed an interesting enough story, and not just talking about the film in itself, but Angelina's approach and industry reaction as well.

Yeah you right, I don't follow Sports at all... :)

But I have seen several pictures lately which had to do with inspirational Sport stories, which in some way reflected some of the hardships I had to confront over the years with some of my physical tragedies, and I have learned something form those stories as well, so, while I do not care about sports, I do watch films about a story within sports if details some one 's story and not that of the sport.

Domestic violence and violence against women have been in my mind as subject since childhood, and for this I have been very strongly advocating against violence, and ready to put myself on the line at all costs as we did together on the Red Dress, despite it's results, it was my first try at it, and failure has reached me more then if it had succeeded in its purpose...

The film about my story begin with domestic violence and women abuse (by my father against my mother) and this has been the starting point of it all, it is what has pushed me to leave home to do what I have done my all life.

Violence is what initiated the journey as the cause, but the perseverance to succeed is because of a promise, and because of a dream, and this concepts will be clearly showcased in the story wot each a precise amount of time and dedication to them.

But ultimately this will be about my life's journey and not about domestic violence, as for that subject I have an other Script which details and solely deals with domestic violence against a little boy and his little sister, similarly as I have an other Script about Violence against Women, which I now stopped working on to go back to work on my story.
 
My first suggestion would be to take the synopsis/outline you put in the original post and edit it down to something that a producer, or even someone on a crowdfunding site, would appreciate without ever knowing your history, the reduser community, the hollywood community etc.

I read it with some knowledge of your story and history on here, and after the first 2 paragraphs, it somewhat became a film about RedUser. How will that read to someone who doesn't already know the basics?... It just wouldn't make alot of sense or generate interest, imho.

Get it down to a few paragraphs that leave the reader intrigued. I think it would be a good, very simple first step towards showing you can edit down your story into only the interesting story arcs.

The reason I wrote it as I did, it is exactly because I wanted to give an inside to this community of it's involvement in the story itself, this is for Reduser.

The Full Story encompasses so much more of course, but this is the reason why I wrote is as such...

For more then one reason I won't share any more then I already have as far as Script etc. as I have been strongly advised to do so.

But I do agree with you of course, that if the case was different or if this was a draft to interest Producers would have needed to be much different.
 
Hey Ketch,
How are you going with your dream movie?
I wanted to wish you all the best. May your dream come true by this Christmas.
