from Screenwriting: From the Trenches Hosted by Rob Hagans & Kay Tuxford
Act Two is essentially the entire movie. Rob and Kay break down how to keep it moving, how to setup while you're paying off and go in deep on the dreaded MIDPOINT (scary!) Our Weekly Resource: You’ve got homework this week. As Professor Tuxford and her Partner-in-Podcasting have concocted a YouTube Playlist of videos on the subject of a second act. As we’ve stated again (and again) in this podcast, the second act of your movie, *is* the movie, so the more information you have informing your choices as a writer – at least in terms of character/structure – can only help you in the battle vs the dreaded second act.
