«Second Plan» is an independent media platform and a curated listings guide for theatrical and cinematic events that typically fly under the radar of major selections. We feature premieres from independent venues and student workshops, retrospectives, special screenings with discussions, readings, labs, tours, and festival programs.
Six-Month Thematic Plan
The content is built around three goals:
1. Discovering events that are difficult to track independently.
2. Explaining why a performance, film, or festival is worth attending.
3. Helping users keep track of limited showings, sales launches, registrations, and festival schedules.

Content is built not only around regular features but also around timely news: premieres, sales launches, etc.
