Fuck midpoints
I'm writing an ensemble feature film and it's killing me. What's the midpoint? What's the plot point? Can a different character carry us through PP1 than the character that got us into the introductory hook? What IS happening on page 45???
You know what? Fuck page 45. Fuck the midpoint. Fuck PP1. Fuck you, Syd. You know what I like about plays? The rule is this: make the audience interested in the next word and feel satisfied on the last word. That's it.
McKee and Field and the fucking hero's journey can all have a spit roast.
