James Franco Presents

Santa Monica, California – Ovation, America’s only arts network, has announced a partnership with renowned actor, filmmaker, author and artist James Franco to launch James Franco Presents. 

“James Franco is the ultimate artist, so partnering with James is a dream come true for Ovation,” said Robert Weiss, Ovation’s Chief Creative Officer. “And, since Ovation’s mantra is ‘art is everywhere,’ James is the perfect person through whom to introduce viewers to a modern, more inclusive definition of art.”

“This is a show where content dictates form and form dictates content. It is an art show that is an art piece, meaning the show has synced with the rhythms of my life and work,” said James Franco. “I am thrilled to work with Ovation, a network that has devoted itself to the arts. It is a truly unique situation and will yield unique results.”

Thousands of hours from Franco’s personal video library will be showcased on James Franco Presents, including video diaries, documentary footage from his most ambitious art films and interactions with his heroes from every artistic genre.
