Students at a high school in California will have someone who knows a thing or two about movies teaching film classes this year.
Actor James Franco, 37, announced on his Instagram account Saturday that he will be teaching the classes at Palo Alto High School.
“I will be teaching an 8 part film class for HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS,” he wrote.
The 127 Hours star encouraged students to apply online for the course that will be offered to 24 students in grades 9-12. All application forms accompanied with a 200-word essay stating why they think they should be selected for the class and one-minute introductory video must be received by Sept. 10.
The objective for the course is to produce a film to be featured at a film festival
This is not Franco’s first go around as an instructor. He has previously taught classes in both Los Angeles and New York at his Studio 4 where students are accepted into programs that focus on acting, writing, improv, audition, directing and producing.
