Missed the live workshop? You can still get everything from How to Develop Your 2nd Act Directly from Your Concept - the full 75-minute session where we diagnosed why second acts really break, and it's almost never where or why you think.
If your 2nd Act keeps falling apart no matter how many scenes you add or restructure, the problem usually isn't the 2nd Act at all, it's the concept itself (or at least your own clarity on the concept). This workshop walks you through three concept stress tests, applied live to a real produced screenplay (The Invite), so you can see exactly how a strong concept generates its 2nd Act automatically instead of forcing you to invent conflict scene by scene.
By the end, you'll know how to run this same diagnostic on your own project - whether you're developing a brand new idea, rebuilding a script whose 2nd Act won't hold together, or intending to pitch your project to producers and reps.
You'll receive:
- The full video recording of the live workshop
- The slide deck used during the session
- The companion worksheet, so you can run the stress tests on your own concept
- The full screenplay for The Invite, the film we break down live
