Instead of long line, I believe you mean log line.
A log line is a meaty, crisp -- and longish -- sentence or two that briefly describes the story. Here are a few random examples from Netflix:
- "North Face: In 1936, young German climbers face off against a rival Austrian duo in an attempt to be the first team to scale the infamous north face of the Eiger in the Swiss Alps."
- "Without a Trace: A mother's worst nightmare becomes a reality for a mom when her six-year-old son disappears one morning on his way to school. After an initial firestorm of attention from the police and media, the case grows cold."
Log lines are used to 'pitch' films to producers. They serve to open the dialog and can quickly define whether or not this producer is interested in this story.
(These examples, however, were developed from the finished films and are used to engage audiences to rent the movies. The log line, however, probably hasn't changed much from its original.)

Your story will be stronger if you decide the story line. Films are emotional in nature, so determine what emotional story -- emotional journey -- you want to tell, and then craft your script.
You have written a script of your own so whom do you contact to post your script and to which mail address should you send your story to get known. I am interested in script writing.?
First, protect your script with a copyright. Then, you can pitch your story to producers, directors, actors and so forth -- people who can purchase your script. You can also enter screenwriting contests to get your story noticed. The market for film scripts is extremely competitive, and if your story is unique, interesting, and well-written, you may attract a buyer who can turn your script into a film.

How long is the writers script?
Usually, a film script is as long as it needs to be to sell the story that the writer wants to tell. Each page of script equals about one minute of screen time. Most full-length features are about 120 minutes; most television scripts are in the 40-50 minute range for an hour's programming. There are short-form films, where a story is told in about 10 minutes. In summary, write the script in length that tells your story -- and is attractive to the venue where you want to sell the script.
