we're getting excited here in Zlin...can't say who the big star is just yet of this year's International Film Festival for Children and Youth, but you'd expect this cat to come for the 50th, not 49th...anyway, Upoutávka is "trailer" for films, but I have just a two sentence beginning to an article, and it is a printed "Upoutávka"...help please!

logline
How about "logline"? That's written; it might be what you're looking for...
see for example http://www.scriptologist.com/Magazine/Tips/Logline/logline.h...
