With books, art shows, and director credits on his resume, one cannot call James Franco an actor and leave it at that. Never content to sit back and relax, Franco is always in production on something. Many people know that Franco does other projects – art installations, books, films, etc., but these works go largely unexplored and get marginalized or dismissed in the wake of Franco’s blockbuster films. In an unconventional exploration of James’ inspiration and creative process, filmmaker and art theorist Dr. Francisco J. Ricardo and Franco delve into his thoughts and process in executing some of his early experimental art and film work, while the viewer is invited to experience these art pieces, some of which were rarely seen outside of a film festival or art show.
