A high concept idea has always caught the attention of reps and producers, but leading with a project that has a strong hook is even more important now than it's ever been before. A high concept idea with a strong hook is your best bet to catch an rep or producer's attention, make them forget the other loglines they're read/heard that day and become obsessed with yours. 

To give you all the tools you need to identify and develop high concept/hooky ideas, we're so excited to have this Webinar + Clinic with producer extraordinaire Ryan Christians! 

Writers can sign up for the webinar and attend both sessions, get answers to your questions, and learn from Ryan's feedback on the loglines writers in the clinic submit. 

Writers who sign up for the clinic attend the webinar and then submit their best logline for Ryan to give feedback on - and make the logline more "hooky." 

Both sessions will be recorded, so if you can't attend live you can still sign up for the webinar and watch the recording back at your convenience!
