Much love to Port Jefferson Long Island for waiting all day to see me on set of True Story twitter.com/JonahHill/stat…

The upcoming dramatic film The True Story was filming this week in Port Jefferson with two of the actors that I've interviewed as a film journalist: James Franco and Jonah Hill.  Crowds turned out Thursday afternoon to see actor Jonah Hill filming in front of Danfords docks and Jonah tweeted about it above.  The film ironically isn't set on Long Island but Oregon and tells the story of a journalist's relationship with one of the FBI's most wanted.

My interview with actor/director James Franco

Here's a short clip from an interview I did recently with the actor and director James Franco from films such as: Spider-Man, Pineapple Express, and 127 Hours and television shows like: Freaks & Geeks and General Hospital.  The question is about how he deals with his fears so it's certainly relative to all my students heading out to college to work in film and art and in it he references his directorial debut The Broken Tower which comes out soon.
