Is a one page synopsis required to get a producer interested in your feature length script? Imperative so make sure it's good, otherwise chances are they'll never read it!

A recent and interesting review for Come back Mr. Bule in 2025.

After a terrorist threat, the Australian gouvernment issued a travel warning for Bali, an island paradise that pretty much thrives on tourism. Australian filmmaker Jamie Wilson (who has visited Bali quite frequently before) and his buddy Zev Howley (who hasn't) saw this pretty much as an inspiration to go to Bali, inspite of the warning, and see how unsafe it really is for tourists, to with their own eyes and also through experiences other tourists share learn how dangerous Balis really is - coming up with a few surprise facts in stark contrast to all the sensationalistic media reports ...

On the surface level, this doesn't seem like much, a bit of travelogue, some interviews, even bits of real life comedy - and sure, the thing flows nicely but seems a bit mundane ... until you put it into context of the terrorist fear the media spread that was readily picked up by Australian gouvernment that chose to go with the flow rather than search for the truth, and suddenly this film becomes a statement. And one that comes across as quite as powerful as it's made very unexcitedly and without any kind of hyperbole. And beyond all that, the film aslo manages to properly entertain, making it a fine watch indeed.
