Informative article. Thanks for this. Just wondering, since everything I write belongs to the thriller genre. Based on the following logline and synopsis of my script "Marcus and Faith", would you say my script is a dramatic thriller or crime thriller or a romantic thriller? Most Readers really get frustrated and angry when they read this script. But some liked it and called the script a dark/romantic thriller. What's your opinion? LOGLINE of "Marcus and Faith" -- Painkiller addict falls in love with a Broadway bound - Faith. Only to find himself embroiled in murder, corruption and twisted sexuality. SYNOPSIS of "Marcus and Faith" -- A shock comic, Marcus Anderson (26), with a dodgy past and now addicted to painkillers, dreams of settling down. When he meets Faith, his high-school crush, now a beautiful mysterious dancer (26), a torrid romance ensues and he thinks she's going to be his savior. But Marcus does not realize that Faith is hiding some dirty family secrets -- secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of prostitution, human trafficking, and murder that spans a godforsaken criminal underworld of twisted businessmen, corrupt cops, psychopathic thugs and a father and daughter story more disturbing and dangerous than anything Marcus was ever prepared for. Not even his painkillers can prepare him for this family. Thanks, Benjamin Ray www.hollywoodtoronto.com Hey Screenwritingcompass…
