On this channel, we have often discussed the Mid Point Reversal (MPR), which is by far the most effective way of bringing some pizzazz into your second act.

In this masterclass, I list the various issues that typically occur in the second act of inexperienced screenwriters. Next, I go over some tools and techniques to help you avoid falling in the same traps.
