Your main story can only take you so far. When you have 120 pages to fill, you can easily discover that even a meaty plot can begin to wear thin after a while. Subplots compliment and, when used to their full effect, enhance your main storyline. They also keep the energy up in a script and make for a much more exciting read.

Cynthia Whitcomb walks you through the intricacies of great subplots and explains how they work in tandem with a film’s main plotline. Learn how to create up to a dozen (!) stories off of your basic idea and help fill out your script and let it reach its full potential. It doesn’t matter how great your story is – if the subplots are too thin and not given the same attention you give the rest of your script, it will simply not work.

You’ll also learn:

-- How to connect every subplot to your A-story

-- What constitutes a subplot?

-- To apply basic 3-Act structure to each of your subplots

     -- The difference between subplots and set-up
