James Franco
Actor, Director, Filmmaker, Professor
How is James Franco as a teacher?

I think that a lot of people figured his assistant would teach the class and he wasn't
going to be there but he's there every week and he's completely dedicated. We've even
met during optional class meetings. He definitely cares a lot about teaching and it's not
just something he's just doing. As a teacher he's has office hours and is pretty normal.
He's attentive and listens to 12 people each read a ten-minute story and gives five or 10
minutes of feedback every week.

Any lesson that he's taught that stood out?

I wasn't interested in making film before, but now that I've started to experiment with
Final Cut Pro it's definitely inspired me to look at film more. I was inspired to turn one of
my writings [into a short film] for a campus film fest because now I know how to edit.
So I mentioned it to him and he told me to bring it into class so we could watch it. And
right away the next week in class he asked if I had the movie and we showed it and the
class liked it. So if anything it's just really cool. I'm not saying he's going to expose my
work, it's just kind of nice to have someone that you admire see something that you
made give you feedback.
