According to The Hollywood Reporter, 24 high school students in grades 9 to 12 will learn to produce a film that will ultimately be shown at a film festival. Students, however, must apply online by September 10th with a 200-word essay stating why they would be a good fit for the class and a one-minute video introducing themselves.

The online application also hints at James Franco being the teacher: “The teacher is a very well known director and actor supported by a team of professionals.”

This is not James Franco’s first time working as a teacher. Recently, he taught at NYU and most recently at USC.
