Act 1
For those that aren't familiar with the screenwriting process most movies are broken into 3 acts. Act 1 (pages 1 - 30), Act 2 (pages 31 - 90) and Act 3 (pages 91 - 120). Now of course this is a guideline to keep you on track much like the guard rails on the side of a mountain road are designed to keep you on the road. The end of each act is signified by a Turning Point, or major event in the story. I am getting close to that first turning point, the end of Act 1 but there is still much to be done before the turning point takes place. I guess it's better to have more to deal with than less to work with. The story should flow pretty smoothly as it is being written drawing from personal experience and that's all I'm going to say about that for right now. I look forward to finishing it and getting it out there.
