   Hmm.. So I am guesing   
   2 minutes - Opening credits   
   90 minutes - Body   
   2 minutes - Closing credits.   
   With 6 acts that is 6 Acts x 15 Minutes = 90 Minutes?   
   OK.... Hm.   
   The Australia thing.. hm, I thought getting the six act structure down   
   would be hair pulling for a writer!
