The Mid Point Reversal is such an important moment in your story, that some leading story experts recommend you should start writing your story from the middle outward.

This class is a compressed version of the 1-hour masterclass on the topic, covering some of the key aspects of this story point, using video clips from more than 20 different classic film and TV hits.

In the part about The Lives Of Others (around 6:30), I show one of the most powerful MPR's you'll ever get to see). In this clip, the importance of the music is probably on par with the agent learning about the playwright's mentor's suicide. I call the playwright the hero, but you may consider this a 'dual protagonist story', as the transformational hero is really the Stasi agent. The MPR works on two levels: the agent's job (his 'outer journey' mission) and his emotional response to art (the 'inner journey').
