James Franco TV - Funny Or Die

The Art of Elysium, a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization founded in 1997, encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. We provide artistic workshops in the following disciplines: acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and creative writing.

Palo Alto is the debut of a surprising and powerful new literary voice. Written with an immediate sense of place--claustrophobic and ominous--James Franco's collection traces the lives of an extended group of teenagers as they experiment with vices of all kinds, struggle with their families and one another, and succumb to self-destructive, often heartless nihilism.

James Franco as famed beat poet Allen Ginsberg in Howl arrives on DVD Tuesday.

The film takes a look at Ginsberg’s most famous poem, Howl, published in 1955 by City Lights, a San Francisco-based bookstore. The poem went on to become the subject of a landmark obscenity trial that tested the boundaries of the First Amendment.

Ginsberg’s love affair with poet Peter Orlovsky, played by Aaron Tveit, is also explored in the movie.

“It was when I met Peter that everything changed for me,” Franco as Ginsberg says, as the film shows the men playfully kissing in bed. “It was as if the heavens showered with gold. Finally, somebody loved me like I loved them. For the first time I felt accepted in my life. Completely.”
