Curiosidades

Four is a 2012 American romantic drama film written and directed by Joshua Sanchez, based on the play of the same name by Christopher Shinn. It stars Wendell Pierce, Emory Cohen, Aja Naomi King, and E. J. Bonilla. It revolves around two couples struggling with their desires and demons on the night of the Fourth of July.

Production

Four was based on Christopher Shinn's 1998 play of the same name, and was inspired by John Cassavetes' Faces and Larry Clark's Kids. Joshua Sanchez first met and interviewed Shinn in 2003 while working for an online magazine. He had read all of Shinn's plays, including Four, as research for the interview. In the following year, Sanchez was approached by Shinn to obtain the rights to the play because another filmmaker didn't renew the option.

It was a fairly organic process for me. I don't think any of us working on the film – Chris included – were interested in making a filmed stage play. […] A lot of films based on plays are really brilliant, but there are a lot that don't work. I think this play had a sense of movement, a visual sense to it – it was already inherent in the play but we just tried to heighten all of that.

To raise money for the film, Sanchez and his producer, Christine Giorgio, were among some of the first artists to use the crowdfunding website, Kickstarter in December 2009. They successfully raised nearly $20,000 for their initial campaign. Neil LaBute and Allen Frame served as executive producers. The film took over five years to make.
