Now that James Franco learned that teaching a class via Skype about how to make a documentary about James Franco is lame, he’s agreed to up his art-fart game and teach a graduate school class at NYU’s Tisch School on adapting poetry into short films. John Tintori (the chair of the graduate film program) told Movieline how proud the school is that Franco agreed to teach a class that encourages students to make poetry even less profitable than it already is and said, “He’s here to teach because he really knows something about directing that he can share with our students. He’s incredibly prolific, and that comes from a real work ethic — and that’s another thing to impart on to our students.” One can only hope this class will be called Shortcomings with James Franco.
