Hi, I’m Shreyan Jain, a lifelong cinephile currently living in San Francisco. I studied CS and literature at MIT, where I took several film classes on topics ranging from the science fiction genre to the formal theory of film color and the works of Alfred Hitchcock. After struggling to find high-quality yet accessible resources for understanding cinema throughout college, I decided to launch The Fourth Act with the goal of sharing what I’ve learned about film analysis over the years. To learn more about what inspired me to build this website, check out my first post: Why I Started This Blog.
