The meat of any movie is the second act, and it's the place where even seasoned writers fall down. In this five week class, veteran scribe, Chris Reed will show you how to tackle this sixty-page beast. Through fun, in-class exercises, you'll learn to utilize the emotional reality of storytelling to keep your audience involved, how characters and relationships create action, how to employ twists and turns, the source of great dialogue, and how to make your scenes flow into each other. By the end of the class, you'll have written a kick ass second act and will be ready to move on to Act III. Oscar not included.
