Outside the Gate ... status

So I've been sluggishly pushing myself through the first draft of Outside the Gate, and the reason it's been so tough for me to write is no longer deniable: the pacing is completely flawed. I really have a tough time sitting down and working on this project because I know the first draft is going to suck. The biggest flaw I've seen in it is that I'm rushing the scenes. I feared I planned too much and will be unable to write the script as I had plotted it out, and I see tonight that the fear is a reality. I'm barely into what I need to accomplish in Act 2 (which should start around page 25 ... a page equals a minute of screen time), and I'm already on page 49. The midpoint should be on page 55, and I'm not even close to writing that scene yet! My prior plan was to just write a shoddy first draft and go back and fix the thing (as should be done), but I'm not about to write a 300-page (think 300-minute!) script that I'll have to hack down to 110 pages! So it's literally back to the drawing board. I have good stuff. Usable stuff. And this is a project I really care about. So I'll have to lay out the note cards and redesign the script. Hopefully I can pull it off. My math brain should enjoy the challenge. I think meanwhile, I'm going to stop for the night and take in some already-produced cinematic literature.
