5. STORY MOUNTAIN REVIEW
Share your current story mountain and discuss your passion and interests with your team for your film concept. Be prepared to present your pitch deck in 1 minute on the first day of camp. When discussing your story mountain with your team, identify the goal of your film/story and the goal of your protagonist. In one sentence share a draft logline of your film in the comments section below. A logline is a very brief synopsis of your film.
