Pitch a random film -- a flawed lead, an inciting event, a complication, and a clock -- across six genres, composed fresh on every press.
A logline is a film's whole premise in one sentence: who the protagonist is, what happens to them, what stands in the way, and what it costs if they fail. It exists because a studio reader gets through dozens of scripts a week and decides from the first line whether to keep reading. The convention is tight -- a flawed lead, an inciting event, an opposing force, and a clock -- and it is tight for a reason: a premise that can't survive one sentence usually can't survive two hours either.
This generator composes original film pitches in the shape of a real logline: a flawed protagonist, an inciting event, a complication that turns the premise, and a stake with a clock on it. Six registers -- Action & Thriller, Comedy, Horror, Science Fiction, Drama & Romance, and Deliberately Unfilmable -- draw from their own banks, and about one pitch in four arrives with a tagline attached.
Every result here is drawn using crypto.getRandomValues() -- the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure randomness -- instead of Math.random(), so it's genuinely unpredictable, not just statistically random. Learn more.
Break writer's block with a premise you didn't choose, run a screenwriting warm-up where everyone drafts an opening scene from the same draw, generate pitches for a film-night improv game, or stress-test your own logline against a dozen randomly built ones. Deliberately Unfilmable is for when the room needs loosening up.
Generate composes a fresh pitch on every press using the site's cryptographically secure randomness, drawing the protagonist, situation, complication, and stake independently -- so the same profession lands in a different film every time. The Genre filter selects which banks are used, and the amount control deals up to 100 pitches at once.
Name the protagonist by what they do and what's wrong with them, give one inciting event, add the force opposing them, and end on what they lose if they fail. Keep it to one sentence and resist explaining the ending -- the reader's curiosity is the point.
No. Every pitch is composed on the spot from word banks, so the combinations are effectively unlimited and none of them describes an existing film. If one accidentally resembles something, that's the genre convention showing through, not a quotation.
Yes. A premise isn't copyrightable and these are machine-composed anyway -- the value is in what you write from it. Most writers draw several and keep the one that suggests a second scene.
