4 Actors, 4 Writers, 4 Directors, and 16 films
Quatrain is a different sort of film experiment, wherein the combined talents of writers, actors, and directors bring to life very different scenes.
Scene 1: A monologue performed by the same actor with the same words, but in four different scenarios.
Scene 2: A two-person scene performed by the same two actors with the same words, but in four different scenarios.
Scene 3: A two-person scene performed in the same location but with four different pairs of actors in four different scenarios, each with identical dialogue save the final line.
Scene 4: A two-person scene with the same dialogue but four different scenarios. Actors and scenarios are director’s choice.
