Treasure Road
"Treasure Road" is based on the true story of one of the first times the US used violence to promote its economic interests abroad.
Logline: In Panama, a former Texas Ranger recruits a mercenary army to protect travelers to the California gold fields – and help build the first transcontinental railroad.
I'm an award-winning screenwriter who has worked with Amazon Studios and producers and directors on five continents. My resume, loglines, and samples are on my website at www.lauridonahue.com.
Create the moment when the audience is first introduced to the main character in a written scene or video. The entrance is an opportunity to reveal what makes the character unique and should show: what they want or aspire to, what they fear the most, or what inside them is a bigger obstacle than anything they externally face. You can craft this scene as fiction or nonfiction, and in any genre (comedy, horror, psychological thriller, drama). Eligible works may be no more than 10 pages or 8 minutes in length.
We're including several scenes from a range of films to watch that are fun examples of unforgettable entrances.
