14 Actors Acting

I posted about this a while back on the old blog, but I just had to share this one more time! After talking about Howl yesterday, I had to see more of the brilliant Franco! Here are fourteen fabulous actors acting. The best part? No audible dialogue. Only music. Enjoy!

Check all fourteen out here!

P.S. I've always wanted to gather all my friends and have us each do a small short like this that is totally representative of our personalities. Again, without talking, which would be a huge feat. Wouldn't that be fun for a dreary winter day that you're stuck inside?

Howl

Have you seen the film Howl? Starring James Franco as Allen Ginsberg, the film (2010) is an adaptation of Ginsberg's iconic poem, "Howl" that mixes the literary and biographical. We see Ginsberg in the past as he writes "Howl" on his typewriter and performs it; we see him experience life and love (or the lack there of); we're in the courtroom for the trials determining its literary merit, and we sit in his house as he intimately explains his poem.

While it is primarily a film with people, gorgeous animation runs throughout the movie when sections of "Howl" are being performed as a pseudo-narrative. It's a lovely film, and I'd highly recommend it.
