Backward Engineering Your Script - Challenges of Act II and Some Suggestions for Writers Block

Act II is always a challenging part of writing a screenplay. We go over some methods of lessening the roadblocks, how to play around with the elements of a scene to make it stronger, and explore some of the changes that have happened over time in motion picture script construction. Once again, we view the writing process from the perspective of getting your draft done. I also share writing suggestions from my first bosses in the industry, Paul Monette (National Book Award, Becoming a Man) and Alfred Sole (Alice, Sweet Alice director).
