I think you're right Deej. My story gets to the point too fast for a feature, and I need to cram more events into Act II and somehow have that feel as if it'd be likely to happen, which means the events need to result somehow from the behaviours of my characters while also inciting them to change. It can't all be people sitting around and giving each other insights passively while they talk about themselves (I guess I feel like that's more or less what it boils down to on the page).

The important thing is to not waste or ruin what you've already worked so hard on just because it isn't what you expected.
