TAMING THE WILD SECOND ACT!

Adding More Conflict to your Screenplay

The biggest problems writers have (besides the 1st and 3rd acts) is the 2nd act – in this adventurous and challenging workshop, we corral the wild 2nd act and learn to bring it under control (hint hint – the 2nd act is actually 2 stories). Participating in this workshop with Professor Marilyn Horowitz is a surefire way to get your unruly 2nd act to a manageable size, and you will learn a better way to create a stronger character arc.

Suggested reading for this workshop is The 4 Magic Questions of Screenwriting, copies will be available at a discount at the workshop.

This will be a fantastic opportunity for performers and writers alike – I hope you will join us!
