Trying to use three act structure to create the story of your movie is like trying to sprint through a marathon. You may start off strong, but by the time you hit the middle of the story, you'll most likely be running out of steam. The plot starts to feel external, manufactured, predictable or diffuse. The ideas just aren't coming anymore. Or you find yourself spinning off in all kinds of directions that take you away from your main character and the story you were telling. This is a common malady. It's called "getting lost in the second act." And it's killed more good screenplays than any Hollywood bigshot.
That's why Jacob came up with Seven Act Structure. Learn about his techniques as well as get a 20-minute one-on-one consultation with Jacob!
