THIS IS THE MOMENT IN THE SCRIPT WHERE THERE IS NO TURNING BACK.

The story gets "launched" here. It's where the plane takes off. 

This pivotal scene is often lost; Set-Ups often are way too long, and then the audience is hurled into the Crisis. Or everything is thrown into the Set-Up beat, with hopes that the audience will get hooked on some exciting piece of action. 

What you want to think about in the WRITE POINT OF NO RETURN is: 

1. The meaning of your story 
2. Where your story is going to end up
3. How you are engaging people in meaning from the beginning 

We don't need to know the ending here - but we need to know something has begun. 

Deep dive into focused work on this pivotal scene of your script!

Use this work to prep your scene for work in DIRECT POINT OF NO RETURN, or take it on its own as a tool to tighten your script!
